Course Overview:
The coronavirus pandemic has created a need for personal protective equipment (PPE) refresher training for healthcare workers. We utilize a nontoxic fluorescent solution during PPE training to simulate contact spread and contamination from aerosol-generating procedures. This novel technique highlights the importance of proper donning and doffing technique while providing visual evidence of any exposure.
