Sitting at a computer reading can be boring; however, this interactive infection control eHandbook is anything but that. This course contains a lot of information, but the companion workbook provides you with activities while taking the course to capture your interest and information to refer to afterwards for years to come. It was easy to navigate and I like how it was divided into sections. If this course was rated out of five stars, I would give it at least five!

I just downloaded the workbook and I am amazed about how informative it is in a practical way. As a clinician, I know how important it is to be at the top of Infection Control knowledge at the dental office as to set the example and lead the Dental assistants in that area and promote education among them.

This course is split into bit size sections with very important information for every day. Always great to keep up on the latest developments. I am certain extra care and education will be standard post corona days.

Excellent course!! Up-to-date materials,reinforcement questions.Love it can't wait until the assessment is ready.
I recently finished the course. I have so many good things to say about this that I do not know where to start. The course is set up in small units which I love because it is easy to complete short assignments when you have only a small window of time to work on it. It was super easy to navigate through tabs and drop downs. This course was the single most comprehensive course in infection control I have ever seen. I teach infection control to my students who pass the DANB ICE every year. I usually have to use many sources to equal the information that is contained in this course. It was a fabulous review and should be used by all dental professionals.
Whether you’re a consultant, educator, in the corporate setting or the dental practice, this is a program you need to be part of! The interactive eHandbook’s clear learning objectives are supported by graphics and tables that break down information, making it easy to remember. Linked references point you to key regulations without a time-consuming search, and a unit summary reinforces the lessons you’ve learned. My completed companion workbook will be a frequent resource and the included 10 CEU credits mean I’ve met my licensure requirements for the year.
I have completed the course: "Dental Infections Prevention and Control e-handbook". It has a very comprehensive content and it has been updated with the latest topics relevant to the Dental Office Environment. It shows step by step the procedures to be implemented as a program to prevent and control the transmission of diseases in work setting in a practical and effective way.
The education of staff is key to follow the recommendations, meet the requirements and to be compliant with the law. I am sure that many dental healthcare workers will benefit from it.
