This could be your “Last Chance”, “First Chance” or “Best Chance” for Continuing Education at MCG this year. This is the last chance to get CE credits from MCG this calendar year, so check on your CE credits for your state’s licensure. It is also a first chance for some of you to meet and hear many of the new faculty at MCG. Finally, it may be the best chance to get the most hours per day of CE credit and hear some outstanding CE speakers.

We are especially delighted to welcome an alumnus of MCG's prosthodontics residency, Dr. Marc Moskowitz, for the esthetic portion. Dr. Moskowitz was a featured clinician at the Thomas P. Hinman Dental Meeting last year, and I know you will enjoy his private practice expertise in the area of porcelain veneers.

The program is two full days, starting at 8 a.m.with a box lunch included,
to optimize your time in Augusta and provide 16 hours of CE credits.

The location has changed due to renovations in the Auditoria Center. The meeting will be held this year in the Alumni Center on 15th street.

Join us for this good chance to come to MCG and to meet and learn from the faculty.
