The Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) Program Approval for Continuing Education (PACE) was created to assist members of the AGD and the dental profession in identifying and participating in quality continuing dental education (CDE).

• The program provider approval mechanism is an evaluation of the educational processes used in designing, planning, and implementing continuing education.
• Only continuing dental education organizations are eligible for approval.
• The AGD PACE Program does not approve/accredit/certify individual courses, curriculum or instructors.  

It is recommended that applicants review all PACE Standards and Criteria before starting the application to better  ensure a complete understanding of what is expected of organizations who are approved through the AGD PACE Program.  It is also recommended applicants review the Preparing for the Application document to ensure all required documentation is available.  For information about navigating the application, review the step-by-step guide.
