Online continuing dental education (CDE) courses are numerous but difficult to find. Most courses are brief, suitable for convenient study, but guidelines are needed to ensure quality and accessibility for dental professionals.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Education
  • Online Learning
  • Continuing Professional Development

Background:

  • The internet offers a growing number of continuing dental education (CDE) courses.
  • The characteristics of these online CDE offerings have not been widely studied.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the general characteristics of online CDE course offerings.
  • To assess the accessibility and format of internet-based dental education.

Main Methods:

  • Online CDE courses were identified using search engines and dental indexes.
  • Data collected included course provider, topic, length, credit hours, and cost.
  • Analysis involved classifying providers, categorizing topics, and calculating cost per credit hour.

Main Results:

  • 157 online CDE courses from 32 providers were identified.
  • Courses covered diverse topics, with most being short (≤5 screens).
  • Credit hours per screen varied (0.05-2), and cost per credit hour ranged from $0 to $25.

Conclusions:

  • Online CDE courses are currently difficult to locate, limiting accessibility.
  • The brevity of most courses may suit convenient, incremental learning for dental practitioners.
  • Guidelines are needed to correlate credit hours with course length, and further development is required for online CDE to reach its full potential.
