Open and guided Q&A
Case studies
IP resources
Subject matter experts: IPs, nurses, physicians, epidemiologists

This series is meant to be an all teach all learn environment.

By working together, we can improve resident safety within Los Angeles County healthcare settings. We invite you to join us on the next call, using the access information below.
