ADA CERP
The Ohio Dental Association is an ADA Continuing Education Recognized Provider (CERP.) As a national continuing education accreditation system, CERP recognized providers are approved providers of dental continuing education, and are recognized as approved providers by licensing agencies of most health-related fields including, but not limited to, the Ohio Board of Nursing.

Ohio State Dental Board
The Ohio State Dental Board (OSDB) recognizes the Ohio Dental Association (ODA) as a Permanent Sponsor of continuing education.

Academy of General Dentistry
Continuing education programs offered by ADA CERP recognized providers are accepted by the AGD for Fellowship/Mastership credit.

Credit Hours
The number of continuing education (CE) credits for each seminar is equal to the number of course hours for that class. However, not all course topics meet the mandatory requirement for relicensure as mandated by the Ohio State Dental Board (OSDB). A notation is listed in the descriptions of courses that do not meet (such as practice management courses) the OSDB biennium requirement. The current biennium ends on December 31, 2009.

Non-endorsement
Annual Session is an official activity of the Ohio Dental Association. Speaker selection is based on expertise and presentation quality. Speaker participation at Annual Session neither implies nor reflects ODA endorsement. All seminars are offered as information only and not as financial, accounting, legal or other professional advice. Persons attending seminars or reviewing handout materials need to consult their own professional advisors for advice.
