The World Federation of Orthodontists (WFO) is proud to announce that it has been officially recognized as an ADA CERP-approved continuing education provider by the American Dental Association’s Commission for Continuing Education Provider Recognition. This prestigious approval includes the WFO’s diverse educational offerings, such as lectures at the International Orthodontic Congress and webinars.
According to the ADA CERP’s website, it is a service designed to aid dental professionals in identifying high-quality providers of continuing dental education. It is important to note that while ADA CERP offers this recognition, it does not endorse specific lectures or instructors, nor does it guarantee acceptance of credit hours by dental boards of dentistry. The recognition process involves a thorough review of applications, ultimately awarded by the ADA Commission.
Former WFO President Dr. Nikhillesh Vaiid expressed his satisfaction, stating:
“The ADA-CERP approval stands as another testament to our relentless pursuit of excellence. We have been diligently working with the ADA Commission to meet the stringent requirements of the review process, and we are very pleased with the outcome. Updated indicators of continuing education eligibility for our programs will soon be available with their online descriptions.”
In the United States, state dental licensing boards typically recognize ADA CERP continuing education units, and such recognition extends to various countries worldwide. We encourage all members to take full advantage of what this recognition means for expanding their professional development and credentials.
