Key Content
infection control, communicable diseases, safety practices and procedures
Serving as infection preventionists, students develop a training program for healthcare workers at a local residential facility. After meeting with a facility representative, each team focuses on a specific staff group or area. They learn how infections spread, along with Standard and Transmission-Based Precautions, and then create educational videos, print materials, and assessments that teach staff safety protocols to prevent or stop the spread of communicable diseases.
