• Identify the types of diseases to which they may be exposed
• Discuss how these illnesses are often spread
• Describe how they can protect themselves and others from these diseases
• Explain the proper methods for disposal and decontamination of infectious material or contaminated items and areas

To accomplish these objectives, the course integrates lecture, visual aids, participant interaction, and learning activities.
