A $50 fee will be assessed for all returned payments.  Returned payments include returned checks and dishonored credit or debit card payments.

VERIFICATION OF PARTICIPATION

Upon arrival, course attendees of MWU CDMA continuing education programs sign-in at the Conference Registration Desk located outside the conference room.

Based on the Attendance records signatures, Verification of Participation forms will be issued at the conclusion of the program within two weeks.  In accordance with AGD PACE and ADA CERP guidelines, the form will have the following information:

1. Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine - Arizona approved provider status 
2. The date(s), location, and duration of the activity;
3. The title of the activity and specific AGD subject codes;
4. Educational methods used (e.g., lecture, clinical participation, self-instruction);

NOTE: What is the difference between a certificate and an Attendance Verification/Participation form (AVP)?  A certificate attests that the attendee has acquired a specific skill, specialty, or advanced educational status.  An attendance verification/participation (AVP) is a record of attendance or participation at a continuing education course/event.  Currently, MWU CDMA does not offer any courses that would result in a certificate. 

COURSE LOCATION, TIME AND MEALS

Course Check-in time and location will be listed on each registrant's course confirmation.  Your confirmation will also state if a meal is being served.  If you have a dietary restriction, please call or email us at least one week prior to the course.
