The Tuberculosis in the Healthcare Environment course is an online training program designed for healthcare employees who may be at risk of exposure to tuberculosis (TB) in the course of their work. The course provides employees with the latest information on the tuberculosis threat, the infection hazards they may encounter in their job, and the steps they can take to avoid them.

At one time doctors thought they had almost stamped out tuberculosis as a serious health concern in the U.S., but the disease had an alarming resurgence in the 1980s. It is currently one of the most common infectious diseases in the world and kills more than a million people every year. Healthcare employees are on the front lines in the fight against TB and have a significant risk of exposure to the disease. Areas covered in the course include the resurgence of tuberculosis, how TB spreads and guidelines for fighting it, TB risks in healthcare environments, medical surveillance, engineering controls, wearing a respirator, and working with and treating active TB.

The course is 100% online, fully self-paced, approximately 45–60 minutes in length, and accessible on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.

This course is provided in partnership with MARCOM, a top-rated safety and compliance training content provider.
