- The difference between OSHA Training and the training received at Boot Camp
- The topics covered at the upcoming Boot Camp in January and how to register for it
Quotes:
“Speaker after speaker would walk us through the basics of safety, both as it related to workers, but also to patients.”
“A marvelous opportunity to learn and connect.”
“When they’re doing the OSHA training, they’re only talking about employee safety…we’re not even getting into patient safety.”
“[Boot Camp Training] addresses those issues so that when a patient leaves, we can be assured that we have not shared with them a disease that they didn’t come in the door with.”
“You want to be on the top of your game, and I think this Boot Camp prepares you for that.”
“When patients come in, they want to know what you’re doing to keep them safe.”
“Especially those soccer moms out there, they’re going to tell all their other soccer mom friends, ‘Let me tell you about this dental practice’, so I think that generates new patient referrals as well.”
“We had attendees from 46 different states and 23 different countries!”
