OSAP Provides Critical Resources for Swine Flu Epidemic

ANNAPOLIS, MD:  April 28, 2009 - The Organization for Safety and Asepsis
Procedures (OSAP) is providing special online resources to help dental
professionals protect themselves and their patients from swine flu.  The
Swine Flu Resources section of the OSAP website, which can be accessed
at www.osap.org, includes an overview of the disease, up-to-the-minute
reports on the current outbreak, tips for prevention, and links to
additional in-depth information.  The site is a one-stop shop for
current information on the swine flu epidemic.

Dental professionals should be vigilant as this potential pandemic
emerges. The OSAP website provides a quick and easy way to stay current,
as the site is constantly being updated as new information is received.
Links to reports and updates from the Centers for Disease Control,
American Dental Association, Pan American Health Organization, World
Health Organization, and even the White House Briefing Room are
available for instant access to critically important information and
advisories.

In addition, the OSAP symposium “Infection Prevention: Spread the Word,”
which is being held June 11-14, 2009 in Plano (Dallas) TX, will feature
courses that address this issue.   Dr. Michael Glick will present on
Emerging Diseases with Special Focus on Swine Flu and Dr. Molly Newlon
will present on the “6 P’s of Emergency Preparedness” in which swine flu
will be covered.

Dental professionals are encouraged to visit the swine flu resources
section of the OSAP website frequently to stay informed.  Additional
information will be posted as it becomes available.

OSAP is the Organization for Safety and Asepsis Procedures. Celebrating
its 25th anniversary in 2009, 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.
