The Healthcare Safety Training Team works to reduce healthcare-associated infections by providing trainings and educational resources to Texas healthcare workers, public health, and allied professionals. We want you to be confident in infection prevention and control regardless of your role and educational background.
We provide learning needs assessments, webinars, in-person training events, and more to address your organizational infection prevention and control learning needs.
Want to host a training at your facility about how respiratory droplets spread germs and the importance of ventilation? CDC’s easy-to-follow training toolkit (Spanish language resources available/disponibles en Español) can help you do just that. Even if you are not an infection control expert, the user-friendly lesson plans can help teach your team in 10, 20, or 60-minute sessions.
