Arizona Denturist CE

• Arizona Denturist Standard Renewal Requirements: Arizona denturists must earn 27 hours of continuing education every three years and submit their renewal by the end of their birth-month (30 days before the certificate automatically expires). At least 18 hours must be live or interactive, as self-study is capped at nine hours. Required coursework includes Chemical-dependency / tobacco-cessation , infection-control , CPR/ACLS/PALS, and Ethics or Arizona jurisprudence, and denturists must devote at least 15 hours to core clinical topics, with practice-management limited to three. Acceptable CE may also be gained through online courses with exams, teaching, publications or volunteer service, within the nine-hour self-study limit.

• Live / "In-Person" Hour Minimum: The Board sets no fixed “live” minimum, but it limits self-study/teaching/volunteer/board-service activities to ≤ 9 hrs per cycle (R4-11-1209 (B)(4)), so at least 18 hrs must come from interactive courses such as seminars, symposia, or live/webinar programs. apps.azsos.gov
