In the spirit of Giving Tuesday,
I thought I would share a list of the free Webber Training Teleclasses that
were given throughout 2015. As noted in
past blogs, 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.
