Description of CME Course
This educational webinar is one in a series of three free webinars that provides valuable insight into selecting the appropriate personal protective equipment for standard precautions during patient interactions, ensuring swift implementation of precautions for patients with transmissible infections, and navigating complex clinical scenarios involving laboratory tests and antibiotic prescriptions.
By preventing the spread of infections within healthcare facilities, the use of standard and transmission-based precautions contributes to broader community and public health efforts to control the spread of infectious diseases. In this module, Dr. Shira Doron, Chief Infection Control Officer, Tufts Medicine, addresses the essentials of standard and transmission-based precautions.
