Promoting Lifelong Learning

NYSDA and Foundation Salute CE Achievers

THE NEW YORK STATE DENTAL ASSOCIATION embraces lifelong learning as vital to staying current in the ever-evolving dental profession. Notably, NYSDA was the first professional organization in New York State to mandate a requisite number of continuing education (CE) credits for relicensure.

Administered by the New York State Dental Foundation, the NYSDA Continuing Education (CE) Registry tallies the CE hours amassed by its members annually. In 2022, standout performers included Carla Schlissel from the Suffolk County Dental Society, boasting an impressive 3,500 hours, and Michael Beck from the Second District Dental Society, with an admirable 3,000 hours.

NYSDA further acknowledges members achieving CE milestones, recognizing those who earn 100, 300, 500, 1,000 and each subsequent 500 hours as recorded within the Registry. This year, the number of members appearing in each tier is as follows: 100 (92); 300 (69); 500 (105); 1,000 (42); 1,500 (16); 2,000 (11); 2,500 (6); 3,000 (1); and 3,500 (1). Each of these learned members will receive a certificate from NYSDA, presented by the awardee's local dental society.

Members can submit credits up to a year old by mailing certificates of course completion to NYSDA: Continuing Education, 20 Corporate Woods Blvd., Ste. 602, Albany, NY 12211, or by uploading certificates electronically via the NYSDA website, https://www.nysdental.org/ member-center/ce.
