ADA CERP
The Ohio Dental Association is an ADA CERP recognized provider. CERP recognized providers are approved providers of dental continuing education and are recognized as approved CE providers by the dental licensing boards of most states, and the licensing agencies of most health-related fields including, but not limited to, the Ohio Board of Nursing. CERP is a national continuing education accreditation system.

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

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

Dental Assisting National Board
Appropriate courses have been submitted to the Dental Assisting National Board, Inc., (DANB) for approval. Please contact the ODA for specific course approval information.

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 the OSDB biennium requirement (such as practice management courses). The current biennium ends December 31, 2011.

Computerized Continuing Education Credit
Support provided by ODASC
A computerized accreditation process will be in use during the 2010 ODA Annual Session. Attendees will receive a code during each course and will enter that information at the CE Pavilion to print their own personalized CE certificates prior to leaving the meeting. No time to print out your form while at Annual Session? No problem! CE slips will also be available online for easy access from your home or office computer.

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.
