Dentalhealth Partners with the Leading Global Distributor of CPD to Offer
Online Courses to Dental Professionals Across Malaysia
Continuing Professional Development, or “CPD“ as it’s commonly known, refers to the ongoing learning by
qualified dental professionals to maintain, improve and broaden their knowledge and skills during their careers.
In line with the upcoming Dental Act, the accumulation of CPD points will soon become a requirement in order
for dental professionals to be able to renew their Annual Practicing Certificate (APC) or Temporary Practicing
Certificate (TPC) allowing them to practice in Malaysia.
As a proactive step in delivering more value to our DentalHealth readers, we have decided partner with the
World Continuing Education Alliance (WCEA) in order to begin offering online dental CPD via an education
portal of our own.
The WCEA is a leading global provider of specialist CPD portals and has built the world’s first truly international
distribution network for this type of education across multiple industries. The company starts by forming
agreements with universities, training organisations and experts around the world and then uploads their
courses to its system.
This education is then shared throughout its global network making it easier to connect dental professionals
with the top educators – regardless of where in the world they are located.
