COVID-19 Training for Healthcare Workers

A course to prepare all providers to recognize, stabilize, and treat patients with COVID-19.

All providers must be prepared to recognize, stabilize, and treat patients with COVID-19. After completing this short course, physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals will have an evidence-based approach to saving the lives of patients with COVID-19, including those who are critically ill.

Learning modules are broken into short videos that are richly illustrated and compelling. The course is self-paced, and providers can schedule their learning to fit with their schedules. Topics include symptoms and signs in patients with COVID-19, early stabilization of patients, preventing the need for intubation, and ventilator management. The best evidence and guidelines are summarized while accompanying handouts provide written learning points and links to online resources. Simple infographics are available for providers to utilize within their care facilities to educate and promote optimal care across their entire institution.

This course was created in partnership with Stanford's Department of Emergency Medicine.
