Tija Hunter - Enhancing Your Career Through Ergonomics: Preventative Medicine for Your Life

Women suffer higher rates of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Because our jobs are so physically demanding in dentistry, we are seeing a higher rate in back, neck and shoulder issues. This course talks about the common problems we face ergonomically and changes we can make to correct these issues. As women, we tend to take care of everyone but ourselves; let’s discuss ways we can fix that!

OBJECTIVES:
• Identify the common problems, physically, we face daily
• Discuss ways to take better care of ourselves and why
• Learn better techniques for posture and positioning

Tija Hunter - Documentation and the Dental Assistant

Doctors and Hygienists were taught how to write chart notes in school, but dental assistants were not. Lawyers say we are an easy target because our documentation in all areas is the worst! Patient chart notes are legal documents and are considered evidence in a court of law and/or used by the dental board in the case of a patient complaint.

OBJECTIVES:
• Understand the importance of accurate chart notes and documentation
• Discover simple ways make complete chart notes
• Learn how to construct your notes completely and easily
