I am in favor of having all members of the dental team be required to take a course in infection control, but especially dental assistants(DAI) who are often on-the-job trained and have not been given the opportunity through a school environment to learn infection control in a structured and standard format. The CDC offers a course on their website and there are an abundance of courses available. This benefits both dental assistants and the patients that they serve.
