The School of Dentistry's policy for CPR--BLS requirements has been revised by the Safety and Asepsis Committee. The revision states that online training for CPR-BLS will no longer satisfy the training requirement for faculty, staff and students with direct patient care contact. The change has been made due to the lack of a hands-on demonstration component in online courses.

The updated policy can be found at:

On a related note, the second-floors semi-automatic external defribulator has been moved and will now be housed in DEN 257--the second-floor dispensary.
