Continuing Education

Washington State dental hygienists are required to take 15 hours of CE per year for relicensure. The courses must relate to dental hygiene. No specifications are made that limit on-line courses.

GSDHS sponsored classes

Every month after the general meeting we offer 1 hour of CE. Our general meetings take place at the Good Shepherd Community Center at 4649 Sunnyside Avenue N. in Wallingford. As in the past, we meet on the second Tuesday of the month.

To provide members with CE credits, the business portion of the general meeting takes place from 7:00 - 7:30 pm. The 1 hour CE follows, from 7:30-8:30 pm.
