Core Disaster Life Support Training Now Available
The ADA has actively promoted the ability of dentists to participate in emergency response situations, based on each dentist’s clinical skills and medical knowledge, and with additional targeted training. As a member of the National Disaster Life Support Education Consortium™ (NDLSEC™) we have participated with a national coalition of professional organizations, academic centers, medical centers, government partners and corporations to provide program content input in a variety of National Disaster Life Support™ courses that provide this additional training
One of these courses, Core Disaster Life Support (CDLS®), is now available online for dentists interested in learning the core concepts of disaster management. This electronic CDLS® course will allow dentists to be more effective in the recognition and response to medical disasters which will allow them to better assist in a disaster. Four hours of continuing education credits are available following successful completion of the course. There is no charge for this course through March 2008.
