An OMS practice will inevitably face an in‑office emergency. The real question is whether the team is fully prepared to manage it effectively when it occurs. This session will assist in creating and improving office emergency drills. Discussions include how to get buy-in from the staff so the office can function as a cohesive unit.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
  1. List the AAOMS emergency training suggestions/requirements.
  2. Describe the necessary components of effective emergency training in the office.
  3. Understand the importance of emergency simulation training and why it is vital to supplement quarterly office training.
  4. Describe the importance of staff roles in emergencies.
