Comparison: CE Requirements For License & DEA Renewals
To help clear up any confusion, we laid the two sets of requirements next to each other.
We've heard from quite a few members with questions regarding continuing education requirements for both state dental license renewal and DEA registration renewal. To help clear up any confusion, we laid the two sets of requirements next to each other. We hope this helps!
