Course Description

Infection Control: Current CDC Guidelines & Checklist reviews the latest CDC recommendations for infection prevention in the dental setting, with a practical focus on clinical protocols for patient and personnel safety. Each section concludes with concise guideline summaries to reinforce key points, and the course includes an office checklist to support implementation in daily practice. This version meets the Massachusetts infection control requirement and is appropriate for clinically oriented dental professionals seeking CE, while the separate Infection Control – OSHA Focus course is better suited for annual OSHA training or for states that require a 2‑CE OSHA course for license renewal.
