response, including structuring an investigation, epidemiologic and
laboratory methods, basic analytic studies (e.g., case-control) and
risk communication
- Involve a mixture of didactic teaching and a dedicated ‘table top
exercise training experience’ involving a detailed scenario for
delegates to work through based on an actual hospital
outbreak.
WS 2: Preventing Ventilator Associated Events (VAE)
