Infection Control & Prevention

This course considers fundamental microbiological and epidemiological concepts as they relate to infection control and prevention, outbreak surveillance techniques, and the investigation and management of outbreaks. Attention will be given to a selection of institutional and community contexts, such as hospitals and long term care facilities, and a variety of populations, selected from children, older adults, first-responders, primary care-providers, and support-workers.
