NEW this Year!For the first time ever at Yankee, there will be live dentistry instruction and

classrooms on the exhibit floor.

LIVE DENTISTRY

There will be 5 live dentistry workshops during which skilled instructors will demonstrate procedures on live patients.

There will be 6 exhibit floor classrooms with courses offered in the morning and afternoon everyday. Tickets to the courses will be sold at a significantly reduced rate. CE on the exhibit floor will run just like normal courses.

Crowd control will be very important. We want the attendees to get the full experience of the lectures and hands-on courses.

Continuing Education

Attendees will only receive CE credits for those courses listed under their name and unique registration number. If someone cannot attend a course and you attend in his/her place, the change MUST be made to your registration as well as to that of the person you are replacing.

For free courses, attendee badges will be scanned upon entry into the course. The data will be downloaded into your CE record but will not be available for certificate printing on-site. It will be available online within 24 hours.

CE Credits

(continued)

PC and RC’s CE information will be downloaded by MDS following the meeting. Volunteers will then be able to enter their CE’s online within 24 hours.

There will be attendees with “Exhibits Only” badges, each day with a different vibrant color. Those with the EO badges are not permitted in courses, not even free lectures. If they would like to attend a course they can upgrade their registration.
