Infection Control In Practice
Introduced in May 2002 and published eight times per year, this newsletter of the Organization for Safety and Asepsis Procedures (OSAP) teaches clinicians and dental team members the practical aspects of dental infection control and safety, focusing on compliance with federal regulations and recommendations. Each issue details a single topic, using plain language and an included glossary to explain concepts and simplify procedures; a ten-question continuing education (CE)-accredited test ensures that learning objectives are met. Placed opposite the mailing label, a practice tip from OSAP-member clinicians helps to draw readers in by conversationally offering advice to simplify and streamline infection control and safety procedures in dental practice settings.
