Project Firstline is CDC’s National Training Collaborative for Healthcare Infection Prevention & Control. Making healthcare safer is a true team effort, and CDC’s new Project Firstline training opportunities reflect that. To stop the spread of infectious disease threats—including COVID-19—anyone working in a healthcare facility needs a foundational knowledge of infection control and must understand and be ready to implement infection control protocols and procedures throughout their workday, including during every patient care activity and healthcare interaction. 

No matter whether this is your first or tenth infection control training, the training will teach you concrete actions you can implement today and every day.

Project Firstline Trainings are:

• Accessible no matter your previous training or educational background, you’ll be able to understand each video.
• Concise to fit around your busy schedule, each video lasts approximately 4 minutes.
• Interactive to keep you engaged, each video has built-in knowledge checks.
