Course Expiration Date: Apr 6, 2027

Overview:
Participants in this course will be introduced to evidence-based information on infection control-related administrative policies and work restrictions to minimize 
(1) adverse reactions to latex products, 
(2) exposure of susceptible oral healthcare personnel (OHCP) to opportunistic infections, and 
(3) the exposure of patients to OHCP who have been exposed to or are infected with transmissible pathogens.

This course provides best available evidence for the development of strategies to minimize latex-related problems among oral healthcare personnel (OHCP) and patients, to minimize the exposure of OHCP with acute or chronic diseases to patients who have been diagnosed with a transmissible infectious disease, and to minimize the exposure of patients to OHCP who have been exposed to or have been diagnosed with an infectious disease.

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, the dental professional should be able to:
• Develop and implement administrative policies and work-practice controls to minimize latex-related adverse effect among patients and OHCP.
• Develop and implement administrative policies and work restrictions for OHCP susceptible to opportunistic infections.
• Develop and implement administrative policies and work restrictions for OHCP exposed to or infected with transmissible pathogens.
