CE – Dental Practice Act for License Renewal

While the Dental Board of California requires only a two-hour Dental Practice Act (DPA) course each renewal cycle, this course is so thorough you will get FOUR CONTINUING EDUCATION UNITS!—giving you more value and deeper understanding.

4. Apply ethical and legal standards related to patient care, professional conduct, recordkeeping, informed consent, and patient confidentiality.

5. Recognize violations and unprofessional conduct, understand mandated reporting requirements, and follow proper procedures for reporting, enforcement, and disciplinary actions.
