This CE program has been updated to reflect changes in the CDC's TB prevention guideline, Guidelines for Preventing the Transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Health-Care Settings, 2005. This includes a description of the application of the guidelines to personnel with a risk of TB exposure in all health-care settings, not just hospitals, such as: inpatient and outpatient facilities (including laboratories), dental care-settings, correctional facilities and homeless shelters. Additional changes to the program made in light of the new guidelines include: Updated statistics; New terminology; Description of the new blood test for TB screening; Revised definition of Multi drug-resistant tuberculosis; Descriptions of the CDCs 3 levels of TB infection control; Administrative controls; Environmental controls; and, Respiratory protection controls. In addition to the CE course, this program includes a six-minute bonus section demonstrating the TB mask fit testing procedure.

A package of 20 workbooks is also available.
