About This Course

UCLA Extension is approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing, Provider Number 11952, to provide 14 contact hours for this activity.

The goal of the CA-COVID-19 Virtual Training Academy is to rapidly and effectively train and build-up a large, new, competent workforce that will implement the State’s COVID-19 Community Contact Tracing Program. During this course, students will learn basic concepts of COVID-19 epidemiology, specifically as they relate to the duties of a contact tracer, and gain hands-on experience reading standardized contact tracing interview scripts with feedback from instructors and peers. By the end of this course, learners should be able to respond to frequently asked questions about basic COVID-19 epidemiology that are likely to be encountered during contact tracing interviews, effectively communicate standardized recommendations and policies about isolation, quarantine, testing and social support, and confidently read standardized contact tracing interview scripts.
