APEX is Minnesota Academy of General Dentistry’s FellowTrack and MasterTrack program. It is designed as a continuum of education featuring hands-on participation courses. APEX Fellow/MasterTrack Courses may be entered at any time and will fulfill necessary participation requirements. APEX CE hours may be applied toward the Fellowship Award or the Mastership Award.
Two courses are offered per year, usually in April and October (Fri / Sat). Each course will provide 14 hours of participation credits.
Clinical Protocol Assignments are given at the end of each course and are optional. Document cases in your office, then present them on the Thursday evening prior to a future course for an additional 18 CE hours (approximately).
