On this week’s episode of The Official OSAP Podcast, Michelle is joined by JoAnn Gurenlian, RDH, PhD who served as the head of the ADHA Covid-19 Taskforce, and was part of the collaborative research team between ADHA and ADA that took a close look at the impact of Covid-19 on dental hygienists.
Episode Highlights:
- Hygienist focused study
Quotes:
“They held these results very tight, I wanted to know for weeks and I couldn’t find out.”
“This was our first national study of US dental hygienists.”
“We received many phone calls from dental hygienists that were very scared to go back into the office.”
“People were right to be afraid… they were right to make good choices.”
“I think much of the interim guidance is here to stay.”
“We have always said vital signs are important...but temperature is a vital sign.”
“You cannot care for everyone else around you, and not care for yourself.”
“7.9% of dental hygienists had left the workforce...59% left voluntarily.”
“That 7.9% translates to 18,000 hygienists.”
“1 in 10 reported that they didn’t know how many days supply of PPE they had, but it was part of their decision to step away from practice.”
