Did you know MD Project Firstline has new micro-learn topics launching in the coming months? These bite-sized trainings will focus on water, sinks, drains and ice, which are key areas in infection prevention. Stay tuned for upcoming webinars that will dive into these important topics.

In the meantime, download the related resources below, which are a series of guided infection control discussions that provide brief, on-the-job educational opportunities. Each one focuses on a single infection control topic and connects infection control concepts to immediate, practical value.

October is packed with observances and recognition of healthcare professions, making it one of the most awareness-driven months on the healthcare calendar. October’s emphasis on health literacy is especially important because studies show that nearly nine out of 10 adults struggle to understand and use everyday health information.

Healthcare workers need trustworthy information about the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) infection control recommendations and the rationale and science behind them. Project Firstline delivers comprehensive, transparent and responsive training and education to the millions of frontline healthcare workers in the United States. The need for infection control training, education and innovation is ongoing.

We appreciate the efforts of all healthcare workers who work to deliver easy-to-understand information to our patients and to our communities. In October, let's celebrate the healthcare worker and observations listed below!
