In addition to earlier comments, I would like to add that here in far Southwestern Virginia we do not have the easy access to dental educational institutes . As it stands now even if we brought in an individual  from the School of Dentistry the CE does not count because we are not recognized as an approved CE provider.

The RVDS is more than capable of providing CE for its members that more than meet sthe requirements set forth by the Board of Dentistry.

The future of the RVDS and an its objective to promote the science of dentistry, provide dental education not only to the profession but also to the public could be jeopardizd.
