More than 100 dental professionals attended a continuing education event hosted on campus on Friday by Penn College’s Student American Dental Hygienists’ Association.
The seminar, titled “Infection Control in Practice,” was led by registered dental hygienist Angelina Marinucci, a clinical education manager for Hu-Friedy Mfg. Co., a leader in dental instrument manufacturing, infection prevention and instrument reprocessing.
The seminar served as a fundraiser for SADHA and updated attendees on current infection control principles and best practices pertaining to sterilization and disinfection of patient care items and dental unit waterlines, in accordance with guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Among those attending were 73 alumni of the college’s dental hygiene program, who were welcomed to campus by Lori A. Boos, alumni and career engagement manager.
Attendees were awarded three continuing education credits. Registered dental hygienists in Pennsylvania are required to complete 20 credits every two years.
