Virtual Infection Prevention Train-the-Trainer Workshops

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) Program and Health Services Advisory Group (HSAG) invite all skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) to participate in train-the-trainer workshops focused on improving infection prevention and control (IPC) practices to reduce HAIs and infection-related hospitalizations.

4 Train-the-Trainer Workshops will be offered over 15 weeks.

Participating SNFs should designate and register 2–4 representatives to attend each 90-minute workshop (i.e., IP, DON, DSD, NHA, EVS Manager, CNA Champion, Corporate Leadership). The representatives that attend each of the 4 workshops do not need to be the same for each workshop topic. Following completion of each workshop, trainees will be expected to train SNF staff on the IPC practices taught in each workshop.

Register Here for All 4 Workshops

All times are Pacific Standard Time (PST). Trainings are repeated 4 times per week for each workshop topic to accommodate schedules. Choose one day/time per workshop topic to attend.

Workshop Topics

Following completion of each Train-the-Trainer Workshop, trainees will be expected to:

• Enhance your current IPC training program by incorporating workshop toolkits and training materials into onboarding and annual training curriculums.
• Train SNF staff on the IPC practices taught in the workshops.
• Share training progress with HSAG and the CDPH HAI program.

CDPH HAI Program IPs will host office hours following each workshop, and HSAG will be available upon request to provide assistance in implementing interventions.
