Cough and Congestion Micro-Learn

What to do when you see a patient with cough and congestion

MDH Project Firstline Micro-Learn topics are brief, guided discussions designed to provide on-the-job educational opportunities. This session focuses on cough and congestion as an infection control topic and connects key concepts to provide immediate, practical value.

This train-the-trainer session is designed for those with infection control expertise or those who may lead infection prevention and control education. It provides guidance on how to incorporate this Micro-Learn into existing team huddles or meetings and how to confidently facilitate discussions that help your team take daily actions to stop the spread of germs.

Train to lead. Use the tools. Make an impact.

Join us to gain the skills and confidence to educate your team on what they should do if they see diarrhea while on the job. Training content is the same both days. Please register for the day that best fits your schedule.
