Thank you for an excellent learning experience.

Let me start by saying that I am very particular about online training programs and classes. Hundreds of educational opportunities are available online, and many are just a waste of time. I saw the level 1 dementia care provider certification advertised, and it piqued my interest. However, after having been disappointed in many online certification-type programs before, I was a bit skeptical. I decided to enroll in one class to check it out. Let me say that I was pleasantly surprised. The program is divided into modules that take about an hour each. This enabled me to do the program in small portions that fit my schedule. The course slides are available to download or print, so you can follow along and take notes. The material was interesting, up-to-date, and informative.  The insights and recommendations offered were clearly gained from years of experience working with residents with dementia. Within a few days of completing this course, I was able to implement several of the ideas and techniques described. The course also helped me to see the world from the resident’s perspective. Thank you for an excellent learning experience.

A little over a decade after it was identified, Candida auris is a growing threat in long-term care and other healthcare settings. It has spread to six of seven continents and has been responsible for several deadly outbreaks. In 2019, the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention listed C. auris as an urgent drug-resistant threat with a high mortality rate. Action is needed now to contain this rapidly emerging pathogen, including surveillance, laboratory identification, and infection control measures.
