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

Illinois Dentist Standard Renewal Requirements: Illinois dentists renew every three years, with licenses expiring September 30. To renew, a dentist must attest to 48 hours of CE, at least 24 hours obtained in person, plus maintain a current BLS card. Required subjects include 1 hour of Sexual-Harassment Prevention training for all licensees and 3 hours of Safe-Opioid Prescribing CE if the dentist holds a Controlled Substance Registration. Approved CE may be clinical or supportive non-clinical content, and up to half the total can be online self-study. Legal Information Institute IDFPR

---

Live / “In-Person” Hour Minimum:
- At least 24 of the 48 hours must be live, interactive, or hands-on. Illinois caps individual-study / correspondence credit at 50 % of the total, so no more than 24 hours may be self-study. Legal Information Institute
- BLS counts: The hands-on Basic Life Support course you must keep current may be applied for up to 4 CE hours and those hours do satisfy the “live” requirement. Illinois General Assembly

---

First-time renewal: Newly licensed Illinois dentists are exempt from CE for their very first renewal following initial licensure. Legal Information Institute

---

Certification alternative: No information found on an alternative certification that substitutes for the 48-hour CE mandate from the state board site.

---

Sedation: Dentists who hold a Permit A or B must complete 9 hours of anesthesia-specific CE and document cases & emergency drills to renew the permit (in addition to the 48 hrs for the dental license). Legal Information Institute
