CU School of Dental Medicine Celebrates 50 Years with Free CE Day

Written by SDM Comms | August 28, 2023

Colorado dentists, alumni and faculty of the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine (CU SDM) are invited to a free continuing education (CE) program on September 15, 2023, at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus. Three (3) CE credits are offered, and early registration is encouraged as space is limited.

"At the School of Dental Medicine, our aim is to provide quality continuing education courses taught by leaders in their field," said Deidre Callanan, RDH, DC, MPH, assistant professor and director of continuing education. "Through these courses, dental professionals will enhance their knowledge and learn more about the latest techniques and developments in the dental profession."

Dean Denise Kassebaum, DDS, MS, will begin the program with a special welcome and introduction, followed by our keynote and subsequent presentations. All sessions are just 20 minutes each so attendees can get a taste of several hot topics in one afternoon.
