education

 

While continuing education (CE) is a requirement of dental professionals, it doesn't have to be a chore. Here you'll find a variety of options for earning your CE credits- whether your learning preference is classroom-style or online. Select the Course Calendar button to find all the upcoming courses offered by California's dental schools, local dental societies, ethnic dental societies and specialty organizations. If a self-paced, informal setting (think, at home in your favorite chair with a cup of coffee and your laptop) is more your style, check out the online options CDA offers. Select the blue Online Courses button to see a listing of available courses.

Have a few minutes between patients or trying to fit in a workout during lunch? Download a CDA-exclusive podcast to your MP3 player and listen to it on the go. You can also play a podcast right from your computer. Just find the one you like and click Listen to begin playing. Our podcasts don't qualify for CE, but we promise they provide great tips and helpful information on managing your practice.
