Community College Training Program
About Community College
AHA is partnering with the CDC and the League for Innovation in the Community College on a new pilot program to train future health professionals to prevent and control infections through community colleges nationwide.
Students in community college programs for emergency medical services, nursing and nursing assistants, environmental services, and other allied health professions will receive curriculum tailored to their respective disciplines and the realities of care delivery. Hospitals and health systems are encouraged to invite community colleges in their area to participate in the Project Firstline initiative.
