JADA CONTINUING EDUCATION GOES ONLINE
Earning continuing education, or CE, credits will be easier and more convenient than ever with the launch next month of the new JADA Online CE module developed by The Journal of the American Dental Association in partnership with the University of Colorado School of Dentistry.

The JADA Online CE module provides for complete online testing, submission, grading and payment for the Journal’s popular continuing education program, offering up to two CE credits each month.

To use the JADA Online CE module, begin by visiting ADA.org at "www.ada.org/prof/resources/pubs/jada/ce.asp". From there, you’ll be able to select CE testing for either ADA members or non-members. ADA members will need to register for members-only content on ADA.org, if they have not done so previously, to receive the discounted member participation rate.

Use the online test forms to select answers to the CE questions for the four articles designated as CE vehicles from each issue of JADA. Correctly answering three of the four questions per article will earn you 0.5 hour of CE credit, adding up to a total of two credit hours for all four articles from each issue.

If you’d like to read the full text of any of the articles, follow the hyperlinks on the test forms. ADA members will have direct access to the portable document format, or PDF, files of the full text, while JADA subscribers can download the articles through JADA Online host Ingenta.com.

After answering the questions and reviewing your selections, click the "Submit" button to forward your test to the University of Colorado’s JADA CE Web site. From there, you can pay the participation fee ($15 for ADA members, $20 for nonmembers) with a credit card via secure server technology and instantly receive a grade for your test. You will need to forward this information to your state dental board to receive credit.

The University of Colorado School of Dentistry is recognized as a CE provider by both the ADA (through the ADA Continuing Education Recognition Program) and the Academy of General Dentistry. It has been partnering with JADA to provide CE since 1995.

The JADA Online CE module is slated to go live in January 2004. To learn more about how to take advantage of this new feature, visit JADA Online on ADA.org at "www.ada.org/goto/jada".
