CE Group Six: Ventilation, Source Control and Hand Hygiene

Dr. Abby Carlson outlines key information about how air (which can carry germs) moves in and out of spaces, how to stop germs at their source to keep them from spreading, and hand hygiene in healthcare settings. This webinar is the sixth of seven webinars offering continuing education for physicians and physician assistants (CME), pharmacists (CPE) and nurses (CNE).

CE Group Seven: How COVID-19 Spreads

Dr. Abby Carlson helps us understand how respiratory droplets can spread germs, how people can be sick even if they don’t have symptoms, and a recap of the infection control habits that keep germs from spreading in healthcare. This webinar is the last of seven webinars offering continuing education for physicians and physician assistants (CME), pharmacists (CPE) and nurses (CNE). 

Want to take the lead in infection control training? Project Firstline has you covered with easy-to-use training support materials. Choose from interactive Scavenger Hunts, quick Micro-learns or web-based Training Toolkits to train your team with confidence. Whether you’re adding to your current program or starting fresh, these resources help ensure your staff has the knowledge to keep patients and residents safe.

Scavenger Hunts

You asked for more interactive training tools, so we developed these two activities to get your team up and moving! Print and hang the posters in the breakroom, at a nurses’ station or throughout the hallways then hand staff the quiz to start the hunt!

Micro-Learns

The Project Firstline Infection Control Micro-Learns are a series of guided infection control discussions that provide brief, on-the-job education. Healthcare workers can easily apply the key points to their daily work and perform the recommended actions to keep germs from spreading. The micro-learns can be incorporated into existing activities, such as pre-shift huddles or team meetings.

Training Toolkits

Use CDC Project Firstline’s training toolkits to lead live, web-based training sessions with your team. Teach them how to recognize infection risks throughout their workday by identifying where germs live and how they spread.

Did you know? MD Project Firstline can deliver a virtual training session just for your staff, or we can visit your facility for in-person training! Select the topics that will be most helpful, and we will present the CDC content as well as provide any associated training materials.
