Are you taking the necessary steps to protect your employees from exposures to diseases or infections?
Attend this fast paced, lively session on how to position your practice to be in compliance with applicable state and federal regulations. Bring your questions and be prepared to learn a lot from information gleaned from the recent flurry of inspections. You don’t have to dread the consequences of non-compliance! THIS COURSE WILL BE REPEATED AS S13 ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2010.
