Risk Management Education Program - Online Registration
Register for INFECTION CONTROL AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE MADE SIMPLE
Presented by Lori Serna-Pate, RDH, MEd
Overview:
Hybrid: Webinar or In-Person
During the COVID-19 pandemic, infection control in the dental setting is more important than ever. Keeping up with the latest interim guidelines and regulations pose a challenge to the most conscientious clinician. It can easily become an overwhelming process. An understanding of the applicable laws, prevention strategies and a commonsense approach can produce a simple, effective and ongoing program that protects patients and providers alike. A review of current research will provide a scientific basis for infection control policies. A discussion will review proper PPE and respiratory protection as well as the impact of airborne disease transmission. Understanding the required protocols and procedures that would be evaluated during a compliance inspection will be included. The course is designed to help satisfy the annual training requirement for MOSH compliance as well as provide infection control continuing education credits required for Maryland dental relicensure.
