NACCHO's December 2023 IPC LLN call featured unique skills to improve local health departments' (LHDs) abilities to train facility partner staff. Essential skills work has been a part of NACCHO's Project Firstline work for over a year and has culminated in both virtual and in-person training events.

This presentation reviewed what essential skills are, highlighted some of the content shared in a previous webinar and first in-person training, and shared opportunities to engage in future essential skills activities and where to find resources.

Attendees:

Learned how essential skills complement technical information especially between partners like local health departments and partner healthcare facilities;
Employed strategies for establishing a safe and trusting environment to train healthcare worker audiences; and
Understood the importance of cultural humility (competency) as it relates to IPC work.
