HAIs or healthcare associated infections are the most common healthcare related infections, but what are HAIs? HAIs are infections a patient contracts while seeking treatment for a separate condition or illness at a healthcare facility. These include urinary tract infections, bloodstream infections, and pneumonia. Although they are the most common, they are also preventable.

Infection control and prevention will teach you how to limit the spread of infections or eliminate the transmission of infections entirely.

This course compliments and coincides with the Bloodborne Pathogen online certification course.

This course includes more information than you need to know as a non-medical professional. This course in no way certifies anyone to perform injections. This course will educate non-medical professionals on safety, sanitation, transmission, hand hygiene, personal protective equipment, and make you a more informed professional. We believe that all tattoo artists, PMU artists, microbladers, and estheticians should have this knowledge as well and medical professionals. We believe we can keep more organizations, aesthetics professionals, aesthetics clients, and tattoo clients safe by arming yourself with this knowledge.
