Students and licensees

Who the course is for

The course serves the New York professions required to complete approved infection control coursework at licensure and every four years thereafter - physicians, physician assistants, and specialist assistants under PHL 239, and dentists, dental hygienists, licensed practical nurses, optometrists, podiatrists, registered professional nurses, and athletic trainers under Education Law 6505-b. Until approval is issued, licensees should complete a currently NYSED-approved provider's course.

Certificate workflow

Certificate issued only after approval and completion

After NYSED approval and enrollment opening, a licensee who completes all seven elements, active time, interactive knowledge checks, and a passing final test would receive a completion certificate carrying the participant name, completion date, the NYS-approved provider name and provider ID, and the provider signature, issued within 21 days as required for approved infection control providers.
