Which activity yields CE credit for per-50-minute segments and has a biennial cap?

• A. Board of Dentistry meetings.
• B. Anesthesia inspection consulting.
• C. Individual study presentations.
• D. Lectures at CODA-accredited schools.

Answer: (D)

Continuing education credits in dentistry are awarded in defined instructional blocks, typically 50 minutes per credit, and they are subject to a biennial cap on the total credits you can earn for licensure renewal. Lectures at CODA-accredited schools fit exactly into this framework. They are formal, structured educational activities provided by a recognized, credible institution, and the time spent in these lectures is counted in the standard 50-minute segments toward the biennial CE limit.

Other options generally don’t align with how the Board recognizes CE: meetings of the Board itself aren’t counted as CE toward licensure, anesthesia inspection consulting isn’t a standard CE activity approved for licensure credits, and while some self-directed study can count, it often doesn’t come with the formal CODA accreditation and time-block structure that ensures it will count toward the cap in the intended way.
