What is the maximum duration for which licensees must maintain proof of completed CE courses and CPR certification?

The correct answer reflects the requirement for licensees to maintain documentation of their completed continuing education (CE) courses and CPR certification for a maximum of four years. This timeframe is set to ensure that dental hygienists have adequate records readily available should they need to provide evidence of compliance with state regulations during audits or license renewals.

Keeping these records for four years ensures that licensees can demonstrate their commitment to ongoing professional development and adherence to the standards required by the Florida Dental Hygiene Laws. This period provides a balance between ensuring accountability and managing the practicalities of record-keeping for professionals in the field.

Understanding this timeframe is critical for dental hygiene professionals to avoid any lapse in compliance with continuing education requirements, which can impact their licensure status.
