Hi Leads and Managers,
We are excited to offer all of our settings FREE interactive online training modules for their teams. The topics vary based on the setting, but still capture the fundamentals of infection prevention and control (IPAC). The intent behind these courses is to offer staff and/or visitors tailored information based on the sector they work in or visit. Each course should take no longer than one hour to complete. At the end of the training, team members or visitors will receive a certificate of completion for their records. As our way of helping to keep you organized, Sebrina will send a progress report monthly until all enrolled team members or visitors have completed the course.
Please note: these courses are not intended to replace any annual education that is provided by the organization or our IPAC Champion program, but instead meant to supplement the most relevant information.
Each training module consists of educational videos, PowerPoints, and interactive quizzes to help each person enrolled with better understanding the content. Please see the table below for a summary of each of the modules available.
If you are interested in enrolling your team members or visits, please email Sebrina Lam, RN BScN CIC with all team members and/or visitors first name, last name, email addresses, and the course which you would like to enroll your team members and/or visitors in.
If you have any questions about the courses or their content, please contact a member of the hub for further information.
