Project Firstline Rhode Island is a training collaborative on infection prevention and control in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are working together to give workers the infection prevention and control training they need to protect themselves, their families,
and the Rhode Island community at large from infectious disease threats like COVID-19. Project Firstline's education, training, and resources are designed with the intent to cover healthcare workers, allied professionals, members of the public health workforce, and others from all previous education and training backgrounds — using innovative content to equip learners with the understanding and confidence to apply infection control principles and protocols necessary to protect themselves, their facilities, their families, and their communities from infectious disease threats, such as COVID-19.
