Continuing Education Programs

The Northern Virginia Dental Society is an ADA-CERP-Recognized Provider of Continuing Education courses, presenting a schedule of CE Courses, in-person, online - live and on-demand, throughout the year. Please see the Calendar of Events section of this website for more details. 

Each class provides 6 Continuing Education Credits unless otherwise noted.



CPR/BLS Training Courses

This is available only to NVDS member dentists and their office staff.

The primary purpose of the American Red Cross Basic Life Support (BLS) program is designed to help participants safely and effectively respond to medical emergencies and provide essential training for healthcare professionals who respond to life-threatening situations such as cardiac and respiratory emergencies. Additionally, the Red Cross defines BLS as a set of life-saving procedures performed in the early stages of an emergency, including CPR, AED use, and airway management.

Some pre-course reading is necessary and helpful. You will receive an American Red Cross CPR/AED Professional Rescuer Manual by email prior to your class. Please familiarize yourself with the material discussed in this manual.

Your American Red Cross Certification Card will be sent directly to the email account provided on the registration form.

Please see the NVDS Calendar of Events for CPR - AED Training Courses and to register and the CPR/BLS Course Information Page


CPR INSTRUCTORS NEEDED!
CPR Red Cross Instructor Training Classes

The Northern Virginia Dental Society is looking for NVDS members who are interested in becoming instructors for CPR classes offered through our society. The cost for the instructor training is being covered by the dental society. However, we are asking that each instructor commits to teaching at least two CPR classes per year. All classes are held at the NVDS Central Office (4330 Evergreen Lane, Suite N, Annandale, VA). If you are interested in learning more about becoming an instructor, please call Tracey Dougherty (703-642-5298) or email to: tdougherty@nvds.org.
