Quizzes

Quizzes at the end of each module must be completed to obtain continuing education (CE) credit. The Progress Bar at the top of each module indicates quizzes successfully completed.

The final evaluation is also required for CE credit. Learn more about getting credit.

Apply what you've learned

Near the end of Modules 2, 3, and 4 you will find a section called "Apply What You've Learned." These scenarios can help you think about a situation you might face at work and can also be used as discussion points at team meetings or for group discussion with colleagues. There are no right or wrong answers; the questions are simply another way to help you think about and apply what you have learned.

Receive Continuing Education (CE) credit

Following completion of Module 4, you will be given a link to the CDC eLearning site where you can receive CE credit. Find more information on receiving CE credit.

Celebrating Milestones and Sharing Concerns Group Discussion Guide to reinforce the online training content by facilitating group discussion among participants who have completed the training.
