Each year, thousands of continuing
education courses are presented by hundreds of program providers --
component dental societies, study clubs and companies that specialize
in course presentations. Most provide dentists with valuable
information that can be successfully integrated into the dental
practice. The Florida Academy of General Dentistry Program Approval
for Continuing Education (PACE) was created to assist members of the
Academy and the dental profession in identifying and participating in
quality continuing dental education. The name reflects the forward
moving direction of the Florida Academy as it sets the PACE for the
dental profession in continuing education within our state.
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.
