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 CE Broker 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

How many CE hours do Virginia dental hygienists need?

Virginia dental hygienists need 15 hours of CE every year, and your license renews in your birth month ( 18VAC60-25-190 ; 18VAC60-25-180 ). The rule sets no live or in-person minimum, so you can finish all 15 hours online with the Virginia dental hygienist CE package . Up to 3 of the 15 hours can come from volunteer dental hygiene service for low-income patients, and extra hours carry forward to the next year, up to 15. Looking for a different license? See Virginia dentist CE .

Which CE topics are required for Virginia dental hygienists?

Virginia names no required course topic for every hygienist. You must keep a current, hands-on CPR certification, which is separate from the 15 hours ( 18VAC60-25-190 ). A hygienist who monitors patients under general anesthesia, deep sedation or moderate sedation completes 4 hours of monitoring CE every other renewal, counted within the 15. Our sedation and anesthesia course is 2 hours and covers half of that, and our pharmacology of local anesthetics and sedation course is 4 hours of related CE, so confirm the Board counts it. Hygienists who want remote supervision complete a one-time remote supervision course. The health department pathway uses a 2-hour course, and the broader pathway for health centers, free clinics and schools uses a competency course with no fixed length ( Code of Virginia Section 54.1-2722 ).

Does Virginia accept AGD PACE credit?

Virginia accepts CE from the sponsors listed in its rule, and it credits verifiable attendance at any course, including audio and video presentations ( 18VAC60-25-190 ). AchieveCE is an AGD PACE approved provider (ID# 386503).

Does Virginia audit dental hygienist CE?

Yes. The Board may audit licensees after each renewal period, and a hygienist who is selected produces the date, subject, sponsor and hours for each course. Keep your records for 4 years ( 18VAC60-25-190 ). The Board offers CE Broker as a free optional tracker, but it does not require dental hygienists to use it ( Virginia Board of Dentistry ). Your AchieveCE certificate is available the moment you finish a course, and AchieveCE reports your completions to AGD PACE within 24 business hours. Our support team is on live chat, email, and phone, 7 days a week.

Do Virginia dental hygienists need live CE?

No. Virginia sets no live or in-person minimum, so all 15 hours can be completed online.

Do newly licensed Virginia dental hygienists need CE for their first renewal?

No. The CE requirement does not apply to your first renewal after initial licensure ( 18VAC60-25-190 ).
