AGD Transcript News

The AGDTranscript is a quarterly e-newsletter sent to each state dental board in an effort to facilitate greater awareness of dental trends and issues across the nation. As the Academy of General Dentistry worked with Licensing dental boards toward acceptance of the AGD state transcript, it was noticed that happenings in one state were not always publicized to other states. Through this newsletter, the AGD hopes to build a lasting relationship with state licensing agencies while communicating information of interest.

Survey on Interest in Creation of a Universal CE Certificate

  Printer-Friendly Version

The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) is seeking feedback from state dental boards about their interest in the creation of a universal continuing education (CE) certificate. If a universal CE certificate is created, ideally all providers of dental CE would be required to fill out the same template certificate for each course participant. The certificate would provide all of the information a state dental board requires for course approval while having it appear in the same place every time. To that end, the AGD would like to ask all state dental boards to respond to the following two questions:

 

1)     Would your state dental board be interested in seeing a universal CE certificate, approved by both the AGD Program Approval for Continuing Education (PACE) and the American Dental Association’s (ADA) Continuing Education Recognition Program (CERP)? 

 

_____ Yes, we would be interested in seeing this happen.

 

_____ No, we would not be interested in seeing this happen.

 

If no, please explain why not: __________________________________________

2)     If so, would you be willing to help the AGD work to achieve this?

 

_____ Yes                                 _____ No

 

Please send your responses via e-mail to advocacy@agd.org or via fax to 312.335.3425 by Friday, Oct. 30, 2009. THANK YOU!
