ANNAPOLIS, MD, USA: The Organization for Safety and Asepsis Procedures (OSAP) will hold its 2009 Symposium, Infection Prevention: Spread the Word, 11–14 June at the Marriott at Legacy Town Center, Plano, Texas, USA. According to OSAP, the symposium is a ‘must-do’ for anyone concerned with infection control and safety in dentistry. Internationally known experts will teach attendees how to make infection control practices ‘stick’ and help professionals do things right the first time. Up to 20 hours of CE credit are available.

In today’s economic environment, people look for educational opportunities that pay off with practical, actionable content. The 2009 OSAP Symposium will give attendees essential information on current and emerging diseases, disease prevention and new screening technologies, patient safety strategies, and new infection control guidelines. Educators, speakers and consultants can participate in special workshops and break-out sessions. A new series, InfoBites, will provide information on four popular and pragmatic asepsis topics in digestible segments. Technical posters and product exhibits will inform attendees of the latest advances and newest products. Stanley Bergman, chairman and CEO of Henry Schein Inc., will present the 2009 John Zapp Memorial Lecture.

The symposium provides many opportunities for networking and peer support. The agenda also includes social events, such as the John Molinari Charity Golf Tournament at the Tribute Golf Links in The Colony. The popular OSAP auction adds excitement and offers an impressive array of vacation packages, gourmet baskets, artwork, apparel, jewelry, literary and sporting goods, and much more.

Details of the symposium as well as a reservation form are available online at www.osap.org or can be requested by calling +1 800 298 6727.

Celebrating its 25^th anniversary in 2009, OSAP is dentistry’s premier resource for infection control and safety information. Through its publications, courses, its Web site 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.
