Training series
Project Firstline IPC Training Series
8 sessions · June 2026 – January 2027
A monthly infection prevention and control series built for urgent care, running from June 2026 through January 2027. The curriculum was shaped by the gaps urgent care teams flagged in NERUCA's educational learning needs assessment — outbreak preparedness, triage and screening, environmental cleaning, and PPE — and every session ships with practical tools you can put to work the same week. Each one closes with a knowledge check and a participant evaluation.
Free for members. Each session registers separately — use the Register button on any session below to open its registration page.
