In order to receive credit for NYS mandatory continuing education purposes, you must make sure that the entity sponsoring a continuing education course is approved to provide MCE credit by NYSDA, NYSED, ADA CERP, or AGD PACE. NYSDA approves only its thirteen component dental societies and the New York State Dental Foundation.
The Fifth District Dental Society, under the umbrella of the New York State Dental Association, only sponsors courses provided by itself, the 6 county dental societies, and 3 hospital residency programs located within the Fifth District. All sponsored courses are considered a Fifth District Dental Society course, and will be recorded as such.
