Discover Project Firstline- The CDC’s Collaborative Focusing on Infection Control

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 work day, including during every patient care activity and healthcare interaction.

CDC’s Project Firstline is a collaborative of diverse healthcare and public health partners that have come together to make that happen. Infection control is a critical part of safe healthcare delivery in all healthcare settings.

Together, the collaborative will provide millions of frontline healthcare workers and members of the public health workforce the infection control training they need to protect the nation from infectious disease threats.

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 10 minutes.
  • Interactive- to keep you engaged, each video has built-in knowledge checks.

Ohio AAP is proud to be a part of Project Firstline! We will be sharing critical information on social media, through email blasts and in Ohio AAP Today. Watch for information regarding our kick-off webinar in March.

Be sure to follow Project Firstline on Facebook and Twitter, and sign up for email updates to be the first to know when new trainings and tools are released.
