How long do you have to keep your past professional development files once your cycle has ended?

  1. 6 months

  2. 12 months

  3. 24 months

  4. 36 months

The correct answer is: 24 months

In Minnesota’s dental laws, once a professional development cycle has concluded, the required retention period for past professional development files is 24 months. This time frame allows dental professionals enough duration to provide documentation and verify compliance if requested by regulatory bodies. Retaining files for this length ensures that practitioners can demonstrate they have met their professional development requirements in the event of an audit or review. By keeping these records, dental professionals protect themselves and uphold the standards of the profession, aligning with the guidelines set forth by regulatory authorities.
