Escape Room and Train-The-Trainer Sessions

Thank you to the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of Mid-Atlantic States and Eastern Shore Area Health Education Center (ESAHEC) for their interest in MD Project Firstline’s Escape Room training.

The Kaiser team (above photo collage) recently participated in an Escape Room training as well as our train-the-trainer session. Staff who attended the train-the-trainer session will now be able to facilitate Escape Room trainings at their facilities.

Members of ESAHEC paused for a photo (above) with MD Project Firstline's Dianne Kaschak, middle, during their recent train-the-trainer session. These training sessions will serve as a valuable supplement to their current programs, further enhancing their infection control awareness for those working in healthcare.
