ONLINE CC SUBMISSION UPDATE

The submission system for viewing and updating CE credits online is temporarily closed while CDHBC reviews and updates the many CC credits submitted during this year’s renewal. This information is being updated on to the new 2009 CC forms that will be coming to your mailbox in the next few weeks.

As you may know, in previous years Registrants were only able to update CC during Renewal (January and February of each year). Now we would like to offer the convenience of updating your credits all year with our user-friendly online submission system. We thank you for your patience and hope to get the online CC submission system back up and running as soon as possible.

For information about the CC program or CC credits, please refer to Tab 8: Continuing Competency, found in your Registrant’s Handbook. The handbook is available through our website in the Dental Hygiene Resources Section.

For questions about Continuing Competency, status of CC credits or additional information please contact the Registrant Services Coordinator, Robin Adams at: radams@cdhbc.com for assistance.
