§1084-A. Continuing education

As a condition of renewal of a license to practice, a dentist must provide evidence of having successfully completed 40 hours of continuing education during the 2 years prior to application for renewal. To meet this requirement, the education must relate to professional competency and relate to those aspects of the profession in which the practitioner is currently engaged. The board shall specify the desired content of the program of continuing education, establish criteria for approving providers of continuing education and approve those providers. The board shall specify the criteria for successful completion of a continuing education requirement. All actions by the board in the implementation of this program must be by rule and follow the provisions of the Maine Administrative Procedure Act. [1993, c. 600, Pt. A, §67 (AMD).]

The board may indicate to an individual practitioner specific subject areas on which that practitioner's continuing education is to focus in the future. Providers are required to obtain and retain for 3 years a written course assessment from each student, which must be reviewed periodically by the board. [1993, c. 600, Pt. A, §67 (AMD).]
