Renewal of Certification Process (ROC-P) is a continuous, rolling process documenting achievement in four critical areas of pediatric dentistry.

Completion of the four areas is required for Time Limited diplomates and include:

• Professional Standing - Annual Renewal and Credentials
• Lifelong learning, continuing scholarship, and improvement - 15 CE hours required annually
• Cognitive expertise measured by the Renewal of Certification (ROC) Examination
• Satisfactory performance in practice/continuous quality improvement

Members of the Renewal of Certification Process Subcommittee (ROCPS) contribute by primarily writing and editing questions for the ROC Examination or the CQI Modules. Additional responsibilities include:

• Develop new items as assigned
• Correct formatting, basic editing, relevance, content errors in newly developed or existing items
• Be proactive and progressive by suggesting new topics and contributing helpful content
