Project Firstline (PFL) is a national training and education collaborative created by the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC) to increase infection control knowledge and under-standing among the frontline healthcare workforce.

Project Firstline’s innovative content is designed so that—regardless of a healthcare worker's previous training or educational background— they can understand and confidently apply the infection control principles and protocols necessary to protect themselves, their residents, their facility, their family, and their community from infectious disease threats, including COVID-19.
