e Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario
Overview
We are out of the starting blocks now with the College's Quality Assurance Program with the start of the CE cycle on December 15, 2011.

In many ways, it is business as usual. There is still the usual three-year cycle to collect the required 90 CE points. December 15 was the first day of the new three-year cycle.

You still need to keep all the documentation that demonstrates that you attended the CE activities. In fact, you need to retain all the information for each three-year cycle for five years from the date that the three-year cycle ends. So, for example, if your CE ends on December 15, 2014, you must keep your information until December 15, 2019.

The last three issues of Dispatch magazine in 2011 featured very detailed write-ups on the new program.

The new QA Program is building on four elements:

  1. Continuing Education
  2. Practice Enhancement Tool
  3. Practice Enhancement Consultant
  4. Annual declaration
