The course is accredited by the American Board of Industrial Hygiene, American Institute of Architects, US Green Building Council (USGBC), ASHRAE and is the only course endorsed by these accrediting agencies for infection control.

This continuing education course is intended as an overview and review of the impact construction has regarding infection control, emerging infectious diseases in the built environment including air and waterborne pathogens and MRSA; as well as exposure of risks during construction for healthcare facilities.

This unique education program will not only help to position the student as a desirable candidate for healthcare construction jobs, but it will educate them on the dangers associated with construction of medical buildings including reducing the spread of health acquired infections. Healthcare construction is complicated as buildings often have strict regulatory requirements, operate 24/7 and there is a possibility of an impact on patient safety with regards to cross contamination.

We’ve made continuing education easy by allowing the student to take the course in the comfort of their home. Register here for the one hour, on-demand course and get 1 credit of continuing education. Gain knowledge and find resources needed to make crucial decisions in the healthcare construction environment, reduce risk for clients, healthcare workers, and patient populations.
