IPAC Officer Training - frequently asked questions
Does every Ontario dental clinic need a designated IPAC officer?
Yes. Every Ontario dental clinic is required to have a designated IPAC officer responsible for developing, maintaining, and overseeing the infection prevention and control program.
What qualifications does an IPAC officer need?
Typically a Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH) with CDHO licensing in good standing, formal IPAC training, and ideally audit experience.
Can our existing hygienist become our IPAC officer?
Yes. Prime DMS provides the formal IPAC training your existing staff member needs to qualify for the designated officer role.
What happens if a clinic doesn't have a designated IPAC officer?
Operating without one creates compliance risk during public health inspections and can lead to corrective orders or operating restrictions.
