The Dental Assisting National Board (DANB) and the Organization for Safety, Asepsis and Prevention (OSAP) launched the Dental Industry Specialist in Infection Prevention and Control (DISIPC) certification program.
The DISIPC certification is the first infection control certification for dental sales and practice management professionals. Those who hold the certification have demonstrated their knowledge in concepts related to the prevention of disease transmission, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, and U.S. Occupational Health and Safety Administration standards and regulations.
Forty dental professionals have obtained the certification through a special testing event. The DISIPC certification is now available to all eligible dental professionals.
