Yukon has no independent dental college: dentists register through the Government of Yukon's professional licensing office. At each application, dentists and dental specialists must demonstrate at least 60 hours of continuing professional education plus 300 professional-practice hours completed in the three years immediately preceding the application. No more than five self-directed CE hours per year may be claimed, and provider-led activities need certificates or other proof of completion.
Alongside the headline requirement, keep these on your radar:
- 300 professional-practice hours in the preceding three years alongside the 60 CE hours
- Self-directed learning capped at five hours per year
- Certificates or proof of completion required for provider-led activities
Where free online CE fits: Yukon's structure makes this directory unusually relevant: self-directed learning is capped at five hours a year, so certificated provider-led courses — which is what most of this directory lists — are the backbone of the 60-hour requirement. Keep the certificate for every course; provider-led activities need proof. Log each course the day you finish it with the free CE tracker (pick your province from the Canada presets — cycle dates and targets are preloaded), and see the Canada CE guide for the national picture.
Planning a cycle in Yukon
Because the 60 CE hours and 300 practice hours are assessed over the three years preceding each application, treat them as trailing totals rather than a cycle: roughly 20 certificated CE hours a year keeps the window permanently satisfied, with the five-hour self-directed allowance as topping-up rather than foundation.
