This free course, supported by grant funding, is restricted to staff working in NC Long Term Care Facilities. Thank you.

Register before 11:59 pm December 1; Registration will cut off on December 2

This course is being offered to insure training of LTC infection preventionists between the times that the SPICE IC in LTCFs is normally offered with live presentations in the Spring and Fall each year. This course offering is supported with grant funding. As a result, registration is free of charge.

This will be a structured, 3-day course via Zoom webinar with instruction starting at 8 am each day, and ending mid to late afternoon. After a brief welcome each morning, recorded presentations will be played with a 5 minute break between each presentation. A 45 minute lunch break is planned for each day. Each afternoon, Evelyn Cook will join the webinar for a live Q and A session. In addition, during the lunch break on Wednesday, Dr. Rutala will be available for Q and A on his two presentations: OSHA and Infection Control Issues in the Environment.

On December 2, attendees will receive two links: 1) a link to register for free for the Zoom webinar; and 2) a link to course web page for information and handouts (which can be printed if desired).

Participants who complete the course will receive a link to complete a course evaluation. Once the course evaluation is complete, the learner will be auto-directed to the course completion certificate. Download the certificate, then type in your name, then save and print!
