Rapid HIV Testing in the Dental Setting - 3 Home Study Credits - Free for all dental practitioners
Dr. David Nassry
In September of 2006, the Centers for Disease Control revised their recommendations for HIV testing in
health-care settings. The objectives of these recommendations are to encourage “all health-care
providers” to increase HIV screening of patients; foster earlier detection of HIV infection; identify and
counsel persons with unrecognized HIV infection and link them to clinical and prevention services; and,
therefore, reduce transmission of HIV in the United States. This course will explore this very topic, and
will introduce dental practitioners to rapid HIV testing and counseling in the dental chair. Click here to

Licensure and Regulation* - 2 Home Study Credits - Free for NYSDA Members / $50 for nonmembers
Dr.Milton Lawney
Licensure, as defined in Webster’s Dictionary, is “formal permission from a constituted authority to do
something as to carry on some business.” Until the early 1900’s, dental education was not standardized.
There were practitioners (dentists) delivering patient care without formal training or education. The
process of licensing dentists was developed by the states to protect the public from those practitioners.
Licensure is not a right; rather, it is a privilege granted to the practitioner by the state. In order to receive
this privilege, a practitioner (dentist) must abide by the laws and regulations promulgated by the state
regarding his/her licensed profession. Click here to learn more.
