    Common Questions

    Let's walk through what you need to know.

    Does in-person training cost more than Zoom?
    Only for offices 50 miles or more from Poway, CA. Under 50 miles, in-person and Zoom training are the same price; at 50 miles or more, we add a travel fee for in-person training.
    Can I call you with compliance questions?
    Yes. Every CALM membership includes calling or emailing our team anytime, so you always have someone to ask when a question comes up. CALM Compliance Covered™ and CALM Compliance Complete™ members also get faster responses and help if an inspector visits.
    A team member missed our Infection Control or Dental Practice Act training. What should they do?
    They can take the same course on demand. Make-up courses are included for CALM members: email their full name and email address to [email protected], and we'll give them access and record their completion with your office.
    Can you walk through our office and tell us what needs to change?
    Yes. Every CALM membership trained in person includes a 1-hour walkthrough before your course. CALM Compliance Covered™ adds a written assessment and action plan, and CALM Compliance Complete™ includes a full assessment plus a mid-year follow-up visit. Walkthroughs are especially helpful when you open a new location or remodel, since a new space usually means updating your Exposure Control Plan, IIPP and Workplace Violence Prevention Plan.
    I'm on the current Dental Ed Compliance Program. What happens in 2027?
    Your current program stays available through December 2026. At your office's 2027 renewal, you can move to CALM Compliance Foundation™ at a special rate for existing clients if you lock it in by January 31, 2027. You keep that rate as long as your membership stays active. Compliance Foundation includes everything you have today, plus HIPAA training, on-demand make-up courses and a pre-course walkthrough.
    Can I upgrade later?
    Yes. The tiers build on each other, so you can move up from Foundation™ to Covered™ or Complete™ whenever your office needs more support.
    Is CALM a software app?
    No. CALM is a compliance membership: live training, your written programs and year-round support from our team, with a member portal for your courses, monthly safety topics and records.
