Project Firstline is the Center for Disease Control’s national training collaborative for infection prevention and control

 

Kentucky Infection Prevention Training Center (KyIP Training Center) has partnered with Project Firstline to prepare and train frontline healthcare and public health workers to protect themselves, their patients, and their communities from infectious diseases.

Project Firstline aims to provide engaging, innovative, and effective infection prevention training for millions of frontline healthcare workers, as well as members of the public health workforce.
