Best Practices for Environmental Monitoring

Best Practices for Environmental Monitoring

CriticalPoint, the industry leader in sterile compounding and custom E-learning programs has expanded its training efforts to include a live training program titled: Best Practices for Environmental Monitoring.

Attendees will receive 24.25 hours of Continuing Education Hours (4.5 hours home study and 19.75 hours live training).

This immersion into the world of Environmental Monitoring teaches participants everything they need to know from developing and executing meaningful air and surface sampling to analyzing and interpreting the final results. Those who attend the class should already have mastered hand hygiene and garbing since those skills will not be taught but will be required in the 6.5 hours of laboratory hands-on training. Theoretical and scientific underpinnings will be communicated through engaging lectures and labs and will ensure that participants have the opportunity to test what they’ve learned as well as practice and master skills in real-life simulations in controlled environments.
