Online CE in Louisiana: Louisiana lets dentists complete up to 10 of the 30 required hours as online/correspondence self-study (the other 20 must be personally-attended clinical courses); dental hygienists may complete up to 8 of their 20 hours online/correspondence (the other 12 must be personally attended). Online/correspondence courses must require successful completion of a written examination. Home Study Solutions online courses can cover that online/self-study portion — up to 10 hours for dentists and up to 8 hours for hygienists. CE is reported through CE Broker. Home Study Solutions is AGD PACE & ADA CERP approved.

Key Louisiana requirements & rules:

  • 3 hours — Opioid management (drug diversion, best-practice prescribing of controlled substances, appropriate treatment of addiction); one-time career requirement for dentists, counts toward the 30 hours
  • BLS certification — required of all licensees at all times (counts as 3 personally-attended clinical hours; must be AHA BLS Provider or ARC BLS)
  • ACLS/PALS — required for dentists holding moderate sedation or general anesthesia permits (fully online courses not accepted)

Plus, earn HSS ProSkills™ Rewards: every course you complete — CE or professional development — banks ProSkills points toward free courses, digital gift cards, and more. Points never expire.

ProSkills™ courses are professional development, not CE credit — a complement to your Louisiana continuing education.
