As of 2022 the IA dental board is accepting mental health as a qualified CE credit for their licensure and Brooke Oniki’s course falls underneath that umbrella. She was one of our most talked about speakers from last year and a lot of ppl are really excited to be having her back.
Finally, many offices have not yet registered this year. The office must be registered and paid for before you will be allowed to attend or receive CE. Please make sure your office is registered and paid.
Brooke Oniki will present the course Office Well Being and Performance Friday October 13 at 8am at the Convention Center in South Sioux City.
The Iowa Dental Board has stated that this course is an accepted topic toward licensure.
