In August 1992 legislation passed requiring certain health professionals in NYS to obtain approved training in infection control and barrier precautions. These professionals include physicians, physician and specialist assistants, registered and licensed practical nurses, dentists, dental hygienists, optometrists and podiatrists. Initial training was to have been accomplished by JULY 1, 1994.
Training needs to be retaken every four years.
Professional staff new to the Medical Center are responsible for meeting these training requirements. There are six basic core elements for this training. Register with the CPE Office using the form below. You will then be sent a Self-Study Training Program and PostTest. Study the Program materials.
