CDC - Continuing Education Course - Dialysis Safety

Infections are one of the leading causes of hospitalization and death for patients on hemodialysis.  In an effort to ensure that CDC infection prevention recommendations are implemented in hemodialysis facilities, CDC has created a new continuing education training course for outpatient hemodialysis healthcare workers, including technicians and nurses.

The 1-hour, self-guided training course features a flash-based slide presentation and audio narration which reviews:
Common infections that patients can get during the course of their dialysis care
CDC’s infection control recommendations for outpatient hemodialysis healthcare workers
How to educate your patients and their caregivers

This FREE course provides 1 contact hours of Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) and 0.1 Continuing Education Units (CEU).
