About Project Firstline
Infection control saves lives, and frontline healthcare workers play a critical role. Project Firstline provides innovative and accessible infection control education for all frontline healthcare workers– so they can protect their patients, their coworkers and themselves from infectious disease threats in health care. As a collaborative, Project Firstline brings together more than 75 healthcare, academic, and public health partners to reach a wide range of healthcare audiences and settings across the country.
Project Firstline offers educational resources in a variety of formats to meet the diverse learning needs and preferences of the healthcare workforce. Resources are designed to empower and enable healthcare workers to think critically about infection control, using adult learning principles, educational best practices, CDC recommendations, and the science that informs them.
Project Firstline encourages all healthcare workers to take advantage of these free infection control training resources – that were developed with healthcare workers, specifically for healthcare workers. You can access educational materials on infection control in healthcare settings directly from our website and subscribe to our newsletter to receive the latest infection prevention and control updates.
