UIC Barcelona was the first Spanish university to obtain this accreditation, granted by the American Dental Association’s Continuing Education Provider Recognition Program (ADA CERP), and this renewal confirms the Faculty’s ongoing commitment to the highest global quality standards in teaching, clinical care, research and infrastructure.

This programme provides dental regulatory agencies with a sound basis for uniform acceptance of continuing education (CE) credits required for the maintenance of dental licensure, while approving organisations and institutions offering this education.

Thanks to this recognition, all dental professionals who practice in the United States and in any other country that may require it, will be able to take one of the continuing education courses offered by the UIC Barcelona Faculty of Dentistry, and the courses will serve to renew their dental license.

The ADA Commission for the Continuing Education Provider Recognition is responsible for carrying out the process of evaluation and recognition of institutions and entities that offer dental education and that must meet the demanding criteria of quality, transparency, scientific content of the programmes, duration and practices, as well as strategic course planning.

As the dean of the Faculty Dr Lluís Giner points out, “Renewing such a prestigious accreditation as that granted by the American Dental Association is the result of the collective effort of the entire academic, clinical and administrative team of the Faculty. This international recognition confirms that our educational model meets the highest quality standards and drives us to continue improving.”
