| 30 Hours Every Three Years |
|
Denturists are required to obtain at least 30 hours of continuing education every three years to maintain their state-issued license as specified in Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 331-415-0010. Six of the required 30 hours must be directly related to partial denture services.
Continuing education includes attendance or participation at an instructional program presented, recognized, or under the auspices of any permanently organized institution, agency, or professional organization or association. For example, lectures, post-secondary school or post-graduate courses, scientific sessions at conventions, teaching (provided that no more than half the required hours be in teaching), or correspondence courses, or video tapes, or similar self-study provided an examination is taken and passed as part of the course.
Subject matter shall be related specifically to denture technology: the law and rules regulating licensed denturists, science, related dental practices, health care professional concerns such as infection control or medical emergencies, ethics, and business practices.
Continuing education requirements apply whether the applicant renewing a license is living or working within Oregon or outside of the state so long as Oregon licensure is maintained. Continuing education is required for renewal, every three years, even if the denturist license has been inactive during that period.
Licensees must attest, or declare, they have met continuing education requirements upon license renewal and are subject to periodic audits as specified OAR 331-415-0020. Denturists shall maintain a record of attendance for two years following the three-year continuing education cycle and renewal of the denturist license.
