The California Dental Assistants Association is gathering information about the infection control education for those who received training as a dental assistant on the job. We want to know what your experience was and need your input on a brief survey (only 6 questions). The data will be used to strengthen current regulations whose intent is to ensure additional patient and healthcare worker safety. This is particularly important given that there is a significant influx of newly unskilled workers entering the field of dental assisting. Your participation and input are vital to provide us with detailed documentation to support this critical initiative. On behalf of the California Dental Assistants Association and the profession of dental assisting, we sincerely thank you!
