When do you need CE courses after a GPR residency? Are GPR graduate
exempt from taking CE for 3 years?

if I graduate in 2003 from a GPR, do I need to start taking CE courses after
3 years from that date?

It depends on what state you are in. You may have more luck in the residency forum.

The CE requirement varies by state - you must check the state law. Some require CE credits VERY YEAR starting when you finish training/residency.

The Acad Gen Dentistry will grant you 250 hours of credit towards masters if you apply during your residency

With how rapid technology is changing the field of dentistry these days, if your not taking CE courses within motnhs of finishing any d-school or residency, your behind the learning curve, and frankly if your just taking bare bones minimum CE credit hours to satisfy your state's license requirement, that's not nearly enough given the wide range of topics this profession deals with.

Myself personally, I try and take between 75 and 100 hours of CE a year, which basically works out to 1 full day course a month plus attending a couple of dental meetings (i.e. my state annual meeting, the ADA national meeting, or a large regional meeting such as The Yankee Dental Conference, or The Greater New York Dental Meeting)

Who cares what the rules say...take as many (good ones) as possible as often as possible.
