Join us in educating healthcare workers on foundational infection prevention and control (IPC) practices to protect patients and families from infectious diseases. 

As a Project Firstline partner, the AAP is committed to expand and strengthen the capacity, collaboration and coordination of pediatric health care providers. Our goal is to improve the health of all children and their families.

Why is Outreach and Engagement Important for Evidence-Based Care?  

Providing accessible, trustworthy information to health care teams facilitates collaborative planning and informed decision-making that are central to evidence-based care. 

This toolkit is designed to support  you in communicating with health care providers. By engaging in training to provide evidence-based practices you are making a significant contribution to increasing dissemination of IPC practices and ensuring patients and their families are safer.
