What should EFDAs keep as proof of completed Continuing Education?

Course completion certificates serve as formal documentation verifying that an Expanded Function Dental Assistant (EFDA) has successfully completed a specific Continuing Education (CE) course. These certificates typically include essential details such as the title of the course, the date of completion, the provider's name, and the number of CE credits earned. This evidence is crucial not only for individual record-keeping but also for meeting licensing and certification requirements that mandate ongoing education for dental professionals.

While brochures, emails, and personal notes may contain relevant information about courses, they lack the formal acknowledgment of course completion provided by certificates. Brochures are promotional materials, emails about registration do not confirm completion, and personal notes do not serve as official documentation. Therefore, course completion certificates stand out as the appropriate choice for maintaining proof of Continuing Education among EFDAs.
