Bugs make for good conversations!

As we have tried to highlight through the Talk Clean To
Me blog, the Clean Freaks have a passion for educating anyone and everyone when
it comes to infection prevention and the use of cleaning and disinfecting
chemicals.  One other way we try to
support education on global basis is through an annual sponsorship of Webber
Training Inc. The Teleclass Education by
Webber Training is an international lecture series on infection prevention and
control topics. The objective is to bring the best possible infection
prevention and control information; to the widest possible audience; with the
fewest barriers to access. 

In keeping with the theme for this quarter "bugs,
germs and pathogens" the following is a list of teleclasses that have been
offered or will be offered this year. The cost to join in is very minimal and the proceeds of the teleclasses
go directly back into provision of education initiatives to infection
prevention professionals from under-resourced countries.
