Unlicensed caregivers who provide care at designated medical facilities, facilities for the dependent and other licensed facilities are required by state law to annually complete evidence-based training provided by a nationally recognized organization concerning the control of infectious diseases.
The Nevada Department of Health and Human Services' Office of State Epidemiology has created this Infection Prevention Workshop that satisfies the unlicensed caregiver training requirement. Upon passing a post-test, participants will receive a certificate of completion. Note: Each unlicensed caregiver who completes the training must provide proof of completion of that training to the administrator or other person in charge of the facility in which the unlicensed caregiver provides care. This training course is available at no cost, but other trainings also may meet these criteria. It is up to each individual caregiver to ensure that proof of training is provided if other courses are chosen from those above to meet any of the topic requirements.
