Public Petition for Rulemaking: CE credit for volunteer dentists serving as preceptors
 

I believe that dentists who provide preceptor ships especially at Free or Low cost clinics for Dental School students (example VCU) should be allowed to take more CE credit than is currently allowed (2 CEUs).  Mentoring students is  rewarding but demanding particularly if there are 3-4 students present at the same time (as is the case at Chesapeake Care Clinic ) By offering more CE credits this will encourage dentist to do more mentoring at low cost or Free clinics and provide more dental care for patients in need.  I support Dr Ilchyshyn"s petition to increase CE credits for volunteer dentists who serve as preceptors.
