COVID-19.2 Virtual Training Academy: Case Investigation & Contact Tracing

About this course:

*COURSE TO BE HELD OVER 4 DAYS, FROM TUESDAY TO FRIDAY* UCLA Extension is approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing, Provider Number 11952, to provide 18 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 case investigator, and gain hands-on experience reading standardized contact tracing interview and case investigation scripts with feedback from instructors and peers. Also, learners will be introduced to crucial health coaching skills and motivational interviewing techniques that can be applied during interviews to ensure information is effectively communicated. 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 and case investigation interviews, effectively communicate standardized recommendations and policies about isolation, quarantine, testing and social support, and confidently read standardized contact tracing and case investigation interview scripts. Please enroll in only ONE of the open courses under “Review Sections” to ensure space is available to other learners. $( document ).ready(function() { $("[href='mailto:enroll@uclaextension.edu']")[0].setAttribute("href","mailto:ca-vta-registration@uclaextension.edu"); var axx = $("[href='tel:800-825-9971']")[0]; axx.setAttribute("href","tel:833-691-2985"); axx.text = "833-691-2985"; /*$("[href='tel:800-825-9971']")[0].text("tel:833-691-2985"); $("[href='tel:800-825-9971']")[0].setAttribute("href","tel:833-691-2985");*/ });
