Would You Pass an Infection Control Audit? (BODEX)   (SOLD OUT)

This course focuses on the critical aspects of infection prevention in dental settings. Similar to how diners seek a food safety grade in a restaurant, patients deserve assurance about infection prevention. Baristas undergo food safety training; likewise, dental professionals must be equipped to handle infectious risks.

The course will cover CDC inspection guidelines and essential topics to maintain a safe environment. By the end of the course, dental professionals will be well versed in infection prevention measures and will be better equipped to provide their patients with a sense of security regarding their dental care.
