Description: OSAP is a membership organization that advocates for safe and infection-free oral healthcare delivery. In dentistry, the risk remains real. This roundtable will introduce NOHC participants to OSAP and the DALE Foundation's three-step interactive online education program developed by leaders in the field to assist individuals in elevating their dental infection prevention expertise. Successfully completing this three-step education process meets the education eligibility requirements for one or more OSAP-Dental Assisting National Board (DANB) dental infection prevention certifications: Certified in Dental Infection Prevention and Control (CDIPC) and Dental Industry Specialist in Infection Prevention and Control (DISIPC). These opportunities will help state dental programs, community health centers, and other public health settings verify their team members' knowledge-based competence in dental infection prevention and control, with the goal of increased safety of patients and personnel.
