SESSION CATEGORIES AND DEFINITIONS

The AAP is an ADA CERP^® recognized education provider.

Below is a brief outline of the educational and scientific programs that will be offered at the Annual Meeting. Except for General Sessions, which run unopposed, these sessions can run concurrently during specified time slots.

Clinical Technique Showcase (CTS)

These 1.5-hour sessions offer presentations by four speakers that concisely address a clinically-related subject. Invited speakers will present their topic in 15 minutes, addressing a particular technique, material or device that is of clinical interest. There are no breaks between speakers, and the panel will engage in a question-and-answer period of approximately 15 minutes at the session’s conclusion. These courses offer continuing education credit and are video-recorded. Open to all registrants; no additional fee is required.

Continuing Education (CE)

These 2.5-hour programs feature single or multiple speakers in each session. Continuing education courses are professional development/career enhancement sessions given by credentialed speakers delivering a unique topic in a theater-style format. These courses offer continuing education credit and are video-recorded. Open to all registrants; no additional fee is required.

Focused Continuing Education (FCE)

These 1.5-hour sessions address a specific topic/ technique or practice management topic/issue. This venue features one speaker who gives an in-depth presentation on topics ranging from surgical technique, materials, treatment sequence/integration or practice management. These courses offer continuing education credit and are video-recorded. Open to all registrants; no additional fee is required.

General Session (GS)

These 2-hour programs present a topic of general interest in a stimulating, motivational style by today’s most respected speakers. These sessions offer continuing education credit and are video-recorded. Open to all registrants; no additional fee is required.

Hands-OnWorkshop (HW)

This interactive, technical course - given by experts in a particular area - offers participants the opportunity to learn about the latest trends, challenges and technologies in the industry in a small group setting. These workshops offer continuing education credit, but are not videorecorded. Ticketed event; requires additional fee. Limited attendance.

Innovations in Periodontics (IP)

These 1.5-hour sessions address innovations and advances in clinical periodontics, basic sciences or related subjects. Each session consists of four individual speakers who give 15-minute presentations on a specific topic, followed by a 5-minute question-and-answer period. Speakers are selected by a blind review of abstracts submitted to the Academy. These courses offer continuing education credit and are video-recorded. Open to all registrants; no additional fee is required.

OFFICIAL DISCLAIMER

With the exception of the Corporate Forums, the Academy is solely responsible for selecting topics, speakers and content for the educational sessions at its Annual Meetings. Corporate sponsorship for educational sessions is sought only after topics and speakers have been determined by the Academy. The support provided by the Academy’s corporate partners defrays the audio visual and related costs associated with conducting the sessions, and is not used to pay speaker honoraria or expenses.

The AAP does not endorse speaker content. The views of faculty do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Academy.
