Pretty much all live CE events have been cancelled through the summer and possibly beyond, leading to concern from a lot of dental professionals about how they are going to earn their live CE credits required for continued licensure.

In order to help licensed dental professionals obtain their required CE live credits, Zoom Education & Today's RDH is holding a live-streaming, virtual CE event on Friday, May 29th and Saturday, May 30th. All dental professionals, including hygienists, dentists, and assistants are encouraged to attend.

We have made this event super affordable at only $120 for 14 CE credits, which breaks down to less than $10 per CE credit! If you can only attend one of the days, daily tickets are available for $75 per day to earn 7 CE credits.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do these CEs meet the requirements for my state?

• Zoom Education is an AGD PACE provider that is recognized by all 50 states (including California), and according to AGD's guidelines, live, interactive streaming events are considered a live CE as long as Q & A is offered at the end of each course. This event will be streamed live by Zoom Education, and the speakers will be available for Q & A after their presentation. All CE certificates issued will state this is a live event.

Are these CE courses considered “live” or “in-classroom?”

• Yes, these courses are considered “live” and “in-classroom” and recognized as an AGD PACE provider as such. Because the presenters are presenting live and will be available to answer questions from participants during and after their course presentation (i.e., “interacting with the presenter”), the certificate of completion will state it was a live course.

Are these courses considered “clinical” or “core?”

• All of these courses are required in most states and are considered clinical/core, except for the Child Abuse course. 

Is this going to be offered any other days besides the day listed?

• This event (courses/speaker lineup) will be live-streamed during the scheduled date and times only. It will not be available for replay, self-study, or on-demand. We are looking at putting on more live online CE events; however, we will be providing new courses and speakers to ensure dental professionals have a chance to earn all the required CE credits they need to renew their license.

What is CE Zoom and is it related to Zoom conference calls?

• CE Zoom is an online dental CE company that helps you track and manage your CEs, aiding you what requirements your state mandates for license renewal. CE Zoom is NOT related to Zoom conference calls, and Zoom conference calls are not used as part of this event, so you don't need to worry about the security issues assocated with Zoom conference calls. You can learn more about CE Zoom here: https://www.cezoom.com/

Is there a fee to sign-up with CE Zoom?

• Professionals can utilize CE Zoom to search and register for events, check-in, verify courses, complete required surveys, and store/view/print ALL their CE certificates, including manual uploaded CEs (up-to 10GB storage) for no membership fee. 
  
  The Ultimate CE Tracker upgrade grants access to your state-specific CE tracker, guiding you with what your state requires for your license renewal, by individually tracking each CE according to your state's rules and regulations, taking into account minimum and maximum allowable CE hours, required approved providers, excluded courses, etc.  

When will I receive an email with a link to log on?

• CE Zoom will be emailing all registered attendees the links the night before the event and an hour before each course, but in case emails are delayed, you will be able to find all the connection information by viewing the course details in your CE Zoom account (links will not be available until the night before the event). Please note each course will have its own unique video streaming link.

How to find the video conferencing links in CE Zoom?

• To find these links, log into your CE Zoom account, and from the dashboard, click "view" to view the course information. Scroll down to "course notes" to see the link for that particular course. The links won't be available until the day before the event, so don't worry when you don't see them right away. They will be there the night before the event.

What is the latest to sign-up?

• The latest to sign-up is an hour before the event or when it sells out.

Are there breaks?

• Yes, there will be 10-minute breaks between each course, and there will be a half-hour long lunch break in the middle of the event. Please see the agenda for times.

Do I have to sit and watch the whole thing?

• Just like if you went to a dental conference and took CE courses, yes, it would be in your best interest to pay attention the whole time. If there are certain courses you don’t want credit for, you can step away at those times. There will be breaks in between the courses and a lunch break. Please keep in mind, you must be logged in to each two hour course for a minimum of one hour and 40 minutes and a minimum of 50 minutes for each one hour course per AGD PACE guidelines to receive CE credit.
  
  

What if I only want a couple of the courses being offered?

• These courses are being sold as a package by the day. If you prefer not to watch or take a certain course offered, you are free to step away during that time and come back for other courses during the day.

Will these courses be recorded and offered later?

• Because this is a live event, it can only be watched at the time listed. 

Are there test questions at the end of each course?

• No, there are not test questions, as these are live courses and not on-demand. There will be course evaluations for each course, however. 

How do I get my certificate/proof of completion? Will it be emailed?

• When you register for these courses, you will also register for a CE Zoom account. At the end of each course, you will be given a code that you will enter into your CE Zoom account to get your certificate of completion. This can take up to 72 hours for your attendance to be confirmed and your CE certificate to be released. Your certificate of completion will NOT be emailed to you; it will be in your CE Zoom account once CE Zoom verifies your attendance. Please note, you must be logged on to each course for at least one hour and 40 minutes per AGD PACE guidelines to receive CE credit.

Are there refunds?

• No, there will be no refunds for this event. Please make sure that you can attend before purchasing, and you have a strong internet connection.

Are these courses only for hygienists, or can doctors and dental assistants receive CE too?

• These courses can be taken by doctors, hygienists, and dental assistants for CE credit.

Can Canadians receive CE credit for these courses?

• Canada recognizes CE Courses that have AGD PACE approved providers, so yes. However, we cannot guarantee, so we always recommend checking with your governing agency to confirm approval.

Can we sign-up as a group, or does everyone need to sign-up separately?

 

• Each person who wants to receive CE credit needs to register and create their own CE Zoom account individually. This is because CE certificates are distributed into each persons’ CE Zoom account with each persons’ name, license number, etc. 

Is there a cap on the number of attendees?

• There is a cap of 5,000 attendees.

What is the processing fee for?

• The processing fee of $12 for both days or $7.50 for one day is for utilizing the registration software/platform. It’s like the fee charged when you use Eventbrite or Cvent when signing up for events.

Do I have to watch this on a laptop?

• You can watch from any device with an internet connection or data, including laptops, desktops, tablets, or your smartphone.

What happens if I get disconnected?

• Click on the link again and log back in on the same device with the same name and email. If you get disconnected again, try using a different device like a cell phone, but please make sure you are using the same name and email.

Is this event using Zoom as the webinar platform?

• No, the company hosting this event is “CE Zoom/Zoom Education,” which has no affiliation with the “Zoom” webinar platform. We use WebinarJam as the webinar platform, not Zoom.

Are these CEs reported to CE Broker?

 

• Not directly. Just like an in-person conference, the certificate needs to be manually submitted to CE Broker. To do this, print out the certificate from CE Zoom and then upload it to CE Broker.

Why aren’t these CE courses free?

• To offer CE courses at no cost, we would need to have sponsors (i.e., manufacturers/companies pay for our expenses) and this event is completely non-sponsored. There are costs for putting on events like this; an IT team to ensure the event runs smoothly, speaker compensation, software costs, etc., all while being mindful money is tight for people right now. For those who had events canceled and are unable to obtain live CE events, this is still much cheaper than what people had paid for the canceled events (we are offering at less than $10 per CE credit). Please note that others are offering paid, live CE webinars, but are charging $50-$100 for only one CE credit. 

Can the course presenters hear or see me?

• No, the speakers can't see or hear you. You interact with them through a live chat.
