Program Information
The AHEC program offers an array of dental speakers and programs, covering the latest topics in dentistry. These presentations are offered across the state in a system of nine AHEC regions.
The UNC Adams School of Dentistry cautions continuing dental education participants that there are potential risks of using limited knowledge when incorporating new techniques and procedures into the practice of dentistry, especially when the continuing education course has not provided supervised clinical experience and/or competency tests in the techniques or procedures.
Purpose
The Adams School of Dentistry AHEC Program was established to provide faculty members as speakers for continuing dental education conducted by the nine AHEC regions.
