Healthcare Safety Training Team

The Healthcare Safety Training Team works to reduce healthcare-associated infections by providing trainings and educational resources to Texas healthcare workers, public health, and allied professionals. We want you to be confident in infection prevention and control regardless of your role and educational background. Help us address your needs by filling out a Learning Needs Assessment.

We provide learning needs assessments, webinars, in-person training events, and more to address your organizational infection prevention and control learning needs.
