We offer a wide range of courses that span anywhere from one to six days, depending on the subject matter, and we are in the process of developing online courses where you can complete course work at your own pace and receive credit.
- Hands-on learning, with courses taught on successive half days so you will have time available in the afternoons for other activities
- State board-required topics, such as infection control, record keeping, and ethics, offered several times per year
- A monthly "hands-on" program as part of an AGD Mastership hours program that is offered as a continuum at a package fee for those who wish to come monthly and complete all the hours to qualify for AGD Mastership during a two-year period
All courses are approved by the AGD Pace Program and count for Nevada Dental Board-mandated continuing education. We encourage you to check with your own state agencies to ensure university-sponsored programs qualify for mandatory continuing education hour credits.
