Infection Prevention & Control

AAP Infection Prevention and Control Quality Improvement ECHO – Now Recruiting!
The American Academy of Pediatrics is recruiting primary care practice teams to join a 3-month learning collaborative aimed at improving knowledge, skills and self-efficacy around infection prevention and control strategies. Primary care clinicians and their teams will participate in 2 sessions per month: 1 learning session and 1 quality improvement (QI) session, applying QI methodology from October – December 2022 for a total of 6 sessions. More details can be found on the attached program flyer. Preference will be given to pediatric practices from and/or serving rural and underrepresented populations. Apply online!

Picture
Project Firstline is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) national health care workforce infection prevention and control (IPC) training collaborative that aims to educate all 6 million US health care workers with the foundational understanding of IPC to protect the nation from infectious disease threats, such as COVID-19. The AAP is one of several partners in this initiative.
​
As a Project Firstline partner, the AAP serves as a virtual training center on infection prevention and control. The goal of the center is to expand and strengthen the capacity, collaboration, and coordination of pediatric health care providers during the ongoing response to COVID-19, and to improve the health of all children and their families. This training center will include educational materials, collaborative learning opportunities, and clinical practice enhancements.
