The online CE course Dentistry in Long-term Care: Creating Pathways to Success can help you expand your practice to nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and senior centers. With the rapid increase of the population over age 65, extending care to these settings is a great opportunity to expand your practice, keep your patients throughout their entire lifespan, and take care of their families too.
Currently, more than 1 million nursing home residents face the greatest barriers to accessing dental care of any population group. Older Americans are also keeping their teeth longer and developing dental problems as they become dependent on multiple care systems for a variety of needs.
Providing dental care to nursing home residents makes a difference in people’s lives and can be personally and professionally rewarding for dental professionals.
Learning Objectives This is an online, self-paced course that you can take on your own time and receive 10 hours of continuing education credit. The course covers the following topics:
1. How are long-term care facilities organized and who works there?
2. Getting involved: choosing a delivery model that works for you
3. Regulatory and legal compliance
4. Creating and organizing an oral health program
Tuition Members: $4 $475 Just $250 until November 1, 2015 Non-members: $650 / Additional staff members $150 per person
Dentists who register for the program can register up to 3 of their non-dentist team members at the reduced tuition of $150 per person. Team members must register at the same time as the dentist to take advantage of the reduced tuition.
Bonus Materials Each dental office will receive one complimentary copy of the training program Overcoming Obstacles to Oral Health ($195 value). The program includes a CD-ROM and DVD with printable forms, tests, manuals, workbooks and videos designed to train caregivers about oral health for frail elderly people and people with disabilities.
The continuing education activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the stan- dards of the ADA Continuing Education Recognition Program through joint efforts between the American Dental Association and the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry.
