Infection Prevention & Control Professional Orientation Manual

PICNet  >  Education   >  Education Modules  >  Infection Prevention & Control Professional Orientation Manual

The orientation manual for new infection control professionals (ICPs) is the result of a collaborative effort by ICPs from across Canada. It is designed to provide the new ICP with enough basic knowledge and skills to enable them to begin their practice while waiting to register for an accredited infection control course. The manual is divided into 10 modules to be downloaded and printed for use. PICNet would like to invite any individual involved in healthcare to complete these modules — because infection prevention and control practices are everyone’s responsibility.

Module 1: Introduction

Module 2: Routine Practices and Additional Precautions

Module 3: Hand Hygiene

Module 4: Microbiology

Module 5: Surveillance

Module 6: Outbreak Management

Module 7: Communicable Diseases

Module 8: Occupational Health

Module 9: Cleaning, Disinfection, and Sterilization of Medical Equipment and Devices

Module 10: Construction and Renovation

 

* Also available as a course, along with quizzes for each module, on LearningHub
