Acute Communicable Disease Control ─ Healthcare Outreach
Basics of Infection Prevention ─ 2 Day Mini Course ─ May 14-15, 2018

Course Description:
This course is an educational program held by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LACDPH). The program is for infection preventionists (IPs) and associated staff who work in long-term care settings, including skilled nursing facilities and rehabilitation facilities. The course is adapted from California Department of Public Health’s “Basics of Infection Prevention” course and intended for beginning and intermediate IPs. It is free to attend and those who attend both days are eligible for nursing CEUs (approximately 10).

Please note that this course is meant for infection preventionists and healthcare workers in long-term care settings. In November 2018 we will be holding another course targeted toward IPs in acute care settings. If you have any questions, please email Stacy Hartmann at SHartmann@ph.lacounty.gov
