About
Project Firstline Gives Communities the Power to Stop Infections Together.
Preparing & Protecting.
Project Firstline, CDC’s national training collaborative for infection prevention and control, is committed to preparing frontline healthcare workers and the public health workforce to protect themselves, their patients, and their communities from infectious disease threats.
Essential Partners in Training.
Healthcare workers are on the frontlines of infection control and are essential partners in stopping the spread of infectious diseases. Project Firstline provides infection control training to this workforce, across all roles and settings.
Building Training Expertise.
Project Firstline is building infection control training expertise within the public health workforce to support a culture of infection control in healthcare communities everywhere.
Stopping the Spread.
A workforce trained in infection control can stop the spread of infectious diseases in healthcare settings, and protect staff, patients, and communities.
Decades of Experience.
CDC brings decades of experience in infection control and is uniquely positioned to provide this large-scale training to healthcare workers and the public health workforce.
United Together.
All healthcare workers—whether in environmental services, administration, acute, or long-term care—must unite in the effort to save lives with good infection control practices every day.
Trusted Community Partners
To better inform Project Firstline’s training content, CDC and APIAHF, along with community partner organizations listened to people on the frontlines of healthcare and public health. Together we will continue these dialogues to ensure that Project Firstline provides relevant and accessible trainings—trainings that present not just the recommended infection control practices, but the science and reasoning behind them.
Committed to Protecting Communities During COVID-19
Project Firstline will reach healthcare workers in all healthcare settings including hospitals, outpatient clinics, dialysis centers and nursing homes.
