What does a dentist not need to document when presenting a continuing education course?

When presenting a continuing education course, a dentist is required to document specific elements that convey the integrity and quality of the educational experience. Among these requirements, the content outline serves to provide a clear structure of what the course covers, participant attendance is essential for verifying who took part in the training, and the course duration is important to ensure that the course meets the requisite length for continuing education credits.

However, the publisher's name is not typically a necessary component for documentation in the context of presenting a continuing education course. While knowing the source of material may be relevant in some situations, it does not actively contribute to the requirements for continuing education documentation as defined by regulations. Therefore, this aspect is not mandated for documentation purposes, distinguishing it from the other critical components needed.
