Context

As you enter your clinical placements, it is essential that you have knowledge of health & safety measures to ensure not only your own safety, but that of your colleagues, your patients, and the community around you. This module will prepare you to safely learn and participate in a clinical placement.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, this course will also cover current infection prevention and exposure control measures that help create a safe environment for health care providers (HCPs) and patients.1
