HATTIESBURG, MS, September 30, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Low-Cost Medical Emergency Education for Dentists and Staff

The Institute of Medical Emergency Preparedness announces their low-cost solution for dentists and their staff for medical emergency preparedness and education. For less than $150 per year, the entire dental office can receive a medical emergency preparedness program that will be very simple to integrate into any dental office. It is all online which serves a "green initiative" from IMEP and anything can be downloaded. This program is AGD PACE-approved. The Medical Emergency Membership from IMEP consists of the following:

Earn up to 53 hours of Continuing Education per Year: EACH person in the office may earn up to hours of CE

Monthly Mock Drills, Clinical Scenarios & Online Testing: Each month, the dental team will receive mock drills, clinical scenarios and online testing. Each month will bring a different medical emergency. Therefore, medical emergency preparedness is an ongoing, continual process rather than an occasional event.

Testing Verification Systems (TVS): This will keep all test scores and test dates on file for each member in your office. A Doctor or Emergency Response Team (ERT) Leader can monitor and verify the progress of each ERT member and be assured that they are taking and successfully completing each examination monthly.
