DISIPC^® | CDIPC^® | Renewal

ADS and the Dental Assisting National Board (DANB) have developed two professional dental infection prevention and control certifications (CDIPC^® and DISIPC^®).

Earning professional certification is a way to demonstrate your competence in dental infection prevention and your commitment to dental safety. 

Benefits of certification include:

• Increased performance and job satisfaction
• Deeper level of connection and credibility with stakeholders (e.g., patients, team members, employers, students, and customers)
• Potential new career growth opportunities
• Demonstrated commitment to patient and dental team safety
• Verification of knowledge-based competence in dental infection prevention and control
