Dental continuing education in the aftermath of Sept. 11.
The American people and our profession have been dealt a traumatic blow. The short-term effects of this incident are obvious: all aspects of our economy have slowed; travel and dental CE attendance are down; dentists are seeking other modes of CE that do not require travel. As the country recovers, I predict that dental CE will have a temporary lull, but that the desire for dental CE will continue to expand, and that the destination and local courses to which we have been accustomed will flourish again.
