Dental Assistant Exam

Friday, July 18th, 2008

 

There are around thirty American States that recognize the Dental Assisting National Board (DANB) as the regulatory body for conducting the certified dental assistant exam. The DANB offers certified courses for being qualified as Dental Assistant, Orthodontic Assistant and Dental Practice Management Administrator. In addition to these courses and exams the DANB also administers courses and exams for Radiation Health and Safety and Infection Control. These courses and  tests are  administered either on line all the year round or they can be taken three times a year in the written form in selected places. The course material and reference study guides are available on the official website of DANB. All the exams follow a multiple choice objective pattern.

 

Computer Equipment Disposal

It is interesting to consider that companies spend millions of dollars every year on firewalling and intrusion prevention – all in the interests of maintaining the security of their data. However those measures can quickly be rendered redundant if those same companies don’t take an equal amount of care with their computer equipment disposal. Unless companies properly destroy the hard drives and RAM/ROM chips of those computers which they’re getting rid of, they run the risk of inadvertently leaking proprietary financial data, research-and-development information, or intellectual property; not to mention the non-public financial and medical data on employees and customers, which are required to be kept private by law.
