New ADA Member Benefit: ADA's newest member benefit saves you time and money as you complete your continuing professional education (CPE) requirements. Members can get up to FOUR units of CPE at no additional charge each month by reading specified Journal articles and taking the accompanying test.CPES
Journal articles that meet your learning needs and are identified as approve for CPE credit are worth TWO CPEUs (Continuing Professional Education Units) each, and are classified by the Professional Development Portfolio (PDP) as "Pre-Aproved, Self-Study." This means that, unlike "Professional Reading" articles, you're not limited to 15 CPEUs in a five-year cycle (10 for DTRs). There is no limit to the number of self-study Journal articles you can read for CPE in a five-year cycle - at no cost, and in the convenience of your home or office.

Portfolio
Of course, if you're using the Portfolio recertification process, the articles need to match the learning needs identified in your Learning Plan. With 24 Journal articles to choose from annually and 120 articles in five years, you're bound to find many that meet your particular needs.
