The Organization for Safety and Asepsis Procedures (OSAP) announces the availability of a Dental Infection Control Educators and Trainers Toolkit, a CD-ROM-based resource containing easy-to-use materials and instructions for creating and delivering effective programs and presentations. The new toolkit is designed to aid in the development and delivery of successful, high-impact infection control and safety training programs and presentations. It addresses everything from program creation and promotion to delivery and audience evaluation, and includes easy-to-follow templates and checklists.

The toolkit provides practical, “how-to” information to help increase the effectiveness of infection-control education in a variety of settings. It is useful for veteran presenters and educators, as well as those who are delivering training programs or “going to the podium” for the first time.

The toolkit is a resource for infection control educators, not an infection-control program. While it provides tips and materials educators will find useful in the development of a curriculum, it is not designed to serve as the curriculum.

To order, visit www.OSAP.org (see Resources/OSAP Store) or call (800) 298-6727. OSAP members receive a substantial discount.
