NYSDOH – Informational Message: CDC Project Firstline Training Available

The NYSDOH Bureau of Healthcare Associated Infections (BHAI) in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is implementing Project Firstline: CDC’s National Healthcare Workforce Infection Prevention and Control Training Collaborative. Project Firstline is training material developed by CDC to provide foundational and practical infection control knowledge directly to all frontline healthcare personnel with particular focus on personnel who do not ordinarily get specific infection prevention and control training. This includes, but is not limited to certified nursing assistants, environmental services, maintenance, dietary, and other ancillary staff from healthcare provider private practices, diagnostic and treatment centers, office-based surgery centers, adult care facilities, skilled nursing facilities (nursing homes), hospitals, hospice programs, and home care.
