This session will also highlight an accompanying instructor manual designed to assist teaching these topics in both the health care setting and classroom.  Project Firstline is a national collaborative led by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to provide infection control training and education to frontline health care workers and public health personnel.
