Infection Control: That Thing You Do - Why Do You Do It? (Dr. Molanari)
This is a seminar that not only focuses on an update, goes into many of
the routine infection control procedures people are not doing correctly.  These
include, among other areas: using alcohol hand rubs to CLEAN hands, misuse of
masks, and misuse of surface disinfectants.

Update on Vaccinations for Health Professionals (Dr. Molanari)
This seminar goes into the most recent recommendations and also goes into
a number of the mis-perceptions many people, including health-care workers, have
about vaccine efficacy and safety. I believe it is very important for dental
professionals to be armed with appropriate scientific and clinical information,
since they routinely come into contact with so much of the public.
