COVID 19 PPE Simulator 1.5 CME
This activity has been approved for 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™
SARS-CoV-2 was first identified in 7 patients in Wuhan, China. The patients presented with a progressive lower respiratory infection that quickly acquired the name Coronavirus Disease 2019, commonly known now as COVID 19. On January 30, 2020 the WHO declared a Public Health Emergency with the U.S. HHS following a day later. A month later the WHO declared pandemic status for COVID – 19.
This course is designed to test your knowledge and skills using a state of the art clinical activity simulator. Students will have an opportunity to refresh their knowledge of COVID 19 as an infective agent through the CME portion of the course. That knowledge will then be employed in a state of the art virtual clinical simulator. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is the cornerstone of infection control in all healthcare settings. Its proper deployment and use is essential in protecting providers and patients. Your competency and confidence in your ability to protect patients, colleagues, yourself, and your family will improve. Periodic newsletters and course updates will be delivered to all students as they become available.
The course is brought to you using a “virtual classroom” that can be accessed 24/7/365 on any device connected to the Internet using any
network. It is designed to be completed at your own pace, whenever and wherever you have time. Once enrolled it will never leave your account and will be updated as needed using email alerts. We encourage you to return as often as possible to hone your skill and improve your technique.
