PDA Meeting to Coincide with OSAP Symposium
ANNAPOLIS, MD: January 30, 2009 – The Organization for Safety and Asepsis Procedures (OSAP) has announced that the Professional Dental Assisting (PDA) Conference will be held concurrently with the 2009 OSAP Symposium, June 11-14, at the Marriott Legacy Park in Plano, Texas. The PDA Conference will feature informative sessions presented by the nation’s best educators, all geared to the dental assistant.
The PDA Conference provides unparalleled professional development and continuing education opportunities in conjunction with the American Dental Assistants Association and supported by the Dental Assisting National Board, as well as a chance to network with other dental assistants and experts from around the country. These benefits will be substantially broadened this year by the meeting’s proximity to the nation’s top conference on dental safety and infection control: the OSAP Symposium. The collaboration offers benefits to the attendees of both conferences.
The OSAP Symposium is designed for infection control and safety instructors, lecturers, authors, and consultants; researchers; dentists; hygienists; assistants; lab technicians; nurses in dental clinics; and dental sales and marketing personnel. During the meeting, leading experts on infection control and occupational health and safety share information of critical concern to anyone involved in dentistry.
PDA attendees will attend their own sessions, specific to the needs and interests of dental assistants, but there will be several opportunities to take advantage of OSAP Symposium activities such as the kick-off address by internationally known infection control authority Dr. John Molinari, social events (including an exciting auction of vacations, jewelry, and other items), and the exhibit hall, with products that address today’s practice challenges from the leading manufacturers of infection control and safety products. The PDA-OSAP collaboration results from a natural synergy, as dental assistants play a key role in maintaining proper infection control practices in the operatory.

OSAP is the Organization for Safety and Asepsis Procedures. Founded in 1984, the non-profit association is dentistry’s premier resource for infection control and safety information. Through its publications, courses, website, and worldwide collaborations, OSAP and the tax-exempt OSAP Foundation support education, research, service, and policy development to promote safety and the control of infectious diseases in dental healthcare settings worldwide.
