Housed in the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, Continuing Dental Education (CDE) offers over 150 courses annually for approximately 8,000 dentists dental hygienists, dental assistants and dental laboratory technicians in the United States, Canada and abroad. Guest clinicians and local faculty present lecture, demonstration and participation programs in all the clinical disciplines.

The goal of CDE is to provide high quality educational experiences that impart knowledge, teach new skills, and encourage appropriate attitudes. It is hoped that these experiences will help bridge the gap between new and emerging technologies and the demands of daily dental practice.
