OSAP introduces new member benefit
 
As reported in the December issue of The OSAP Report ONLINE, our new alliance with PennWell Publishing offers you a new member benefit.  You now have access to even more online CE through PennWell's INEEDCE.com site.  
 
In addition to being able to take OSAP CE online at INEEDCE.com with your usual member discount, you also receive $10 off on every single CE course listed on that site!
 
It's easy - just sign in or register at INEEDCE.com if it's your first visit.  OSAP has a Premium Infection Control CE box in the lower left-hand side of the homepage.  Click on any of the OSAP courses to download the newsletter (if you don't have your copy at hand), study the course and when you're ready, click on the brown button above the newsletter that says "Purchase/Complete Online Examination." 
 
When the shopping cart selection comes up it will list the cost as $25.  Enter your OSAP member benefit code in the "coupon code" box:  OSAP110.  This code will reduce the cost to your $15 member rate.  The same code may be used to obtain a $10 discount on ANY course on the site. Please note, the OSAP110 code is good through March 31, 2010. 
 
Attend the Symposium that pays for itself
 
In today's tight economy, everyone must carefully evaluate whether it's worth the money to buy a new car, enjoy a daily latte or attend a meeting.
 
Most attendees of previous OSAP infection prevention symposia have indicated that the information they learned and contacts they made at the program have been invaluable in helping them address key challenges at their facility.  The 2010 program promises to deliver all that and more with a "shake it up" approach to speakers, topics and strategies to manage current and emerging issues.  Check out the one-page FACT SHEET for the topics and speakers and SIGN-UP TODAY!
