The program provider approval mechanism is an evaluation of the educational processes used in designing, planning and implementing continuing education. Approval by the Florida Academy of General Dentistry does not imply endorsement of course content, products or therapies presented, nor does this approval imply that courses will be accepted by a state or provincial board of dentistry. Approved program providers are expected to comply with all relevant state and federal laws. Continuing education offered by approved program providers will be accepted by the Academy for Fellowship/Mastership credit.

This approval does not mean that the Academy of General Dentistry co-sponsors or endorses the contents, philosophy or products presented in your programs. Also, this approval does not make you an authorized provider of continuing dental education for license renewal in the state of Florida. If your organization is interested in its attendees to attain credit towards the renewing of their license, please contact the Florida State Board of Dentistry at (850)488-6016 for additional information.
