Continuing education. Your most asked questions about CE and licensure

MDA members frequently ask questions about con tinuing education requirements, licensure requirements and other related topics. This has been the case ever since mandatory continuing education went into effect in the early 1990s. But since 2004, when the state revised its mandatory continuing education rules, the number of these questions has increased. Recently, MDA Executive Director Drew Eason and Director of Continuing Education Andrea Sundermann met with Rae Ramsdell, director of licensing for the Bureau of Health Professions, which is responsible for the Michigan Board of Dentistry, to get some definitive answers for our members. Ramsdell is the "go-to" person with the state of Michigan, and the MDA works closely with her whenever these types of questions come up. Here are some of your most-asked questions, answered by Rae Ramsdell, representing the state of Michigan.
