I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.

I appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.

I really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.

Additional information

Arizona Dentist Standard Renewal Requirements: Arizona dentists must complete 63 hours of Board-recognized CE every three years and renew their license by the last day of their birth-month, 30 days before automatic expiration. Required coursework includes opioid prescribing, infection control, CPR/ACLS/PALS and ethics or state jurisprudence (3 hours each), while at least 42 hours must be taken in interactive or live formats because self-study is capped at 21 hours. Clinical subjects must make up 36 or more hours, and practice-management topics may not exceed 15 hours per cycle. Dentists can count teaching, publications, charitable service and sedation-permit coursework toward the total so long as all activities meet R4-11-1201-1209 standards. Justia Law Justia Regulations Justia Regulations

Live / “In-Person” Hour Minimum: The Board does not prescribe a “live” minimum, but it limits self-study/volunteer/teaching/board-service activities (A.A.C. R4-11-1209 (A)(4)) to ≤ 21 hours.→ Practically, at least 42 hours must come from interactive courses such as seminars, symposia, live webinars, or specialty curricula. Arizona Secretary of State

General / Elective Hours:
- • ≥ 36 clinical hours in areas like diagnosis, treatment planning, clinical procedures, pain management, etc. • ≤ 15 hours in practice management / patient-management / delivery-systems topics. Arizona Secretary of State

---

Certification alternative: Dentists must affirm completion of CE requirements at each renewal and maintain documentation for Board audit. Arizona Board of Dental Examiners

---

Sedation: Holders of GA/deep, parenteral, or oral-sedation permits must complete 30 hrs sedation-specific CE every 5 years and document ≥10 sedation cases per year; these hours also count toward the 63-hr total. Arizona Secretary of State
