Alabama dental CPR requirements

For dental CPR/BLS requirements in Alabama, Dentovio's sourced CE notes say: 20 hours / 1 year (annual) 12 hours / 1 year (annual) No state CE requirement for dental assistants (CPR required only for assistants aiding in oral conscious sedation; DANB-certified assistants follow separate DANB annual CE renewal). Dentists: no more than 1/2 of the 20 hours may be by self-study/analog or digital media, journals, internet/correspondence/distance courses; must maintain current BLS via LIVE training (2–4 hrs, AHA/ARC/equivalent), min 1 hr infectious disease control annually, and min 1 hr ethics annually. Hygienists: minimum 6 of the 12 hours must be LIVE training; must maintain current BLS via live training (2–4 hrs) and min 1 hr infectious disease control annually.
