How many CE credits can dental hygienists claim from self-study according to board regulations?

Dental hygienists in Nevada can claim up to 24 continuing education (CE) credits from self-study, according to board regulations. This allowance is designed to ensure that dental hygienists have the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and skills through various learning methods outside of traditional classroom settings. Self-study can include a range of educational materials such as online courses, reading articles, and participating in webinars. This flexibility helps dental hygienists meet their professional development requirements while accommodating their individual schedules and learning preferences. By capping the credits at 24, the regulations also ensure that while self-study is valued, professional learning through structured programs and interactions with peers remains an essential component of continuing education.
