About Course

Infection control is not optional — it is a legally enforceable condition of employment and provider licensure in Maryland. This compliance training equips direct care staff in DDA-licensed group homes, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes with the knowledge and skills to protect residents, protect themselves, and keep their facility survey-ready.

Grounded in COMAR 10.22, COMAR 10.07.14, 42 CFR 483.80, and CDC guidelines, this course covers the full spectrum of infection prevention — from hand hygiene and PPE to outbreak response and documentation requirements. Every lesson is built around real OHCQ deficiency patterns and practical scenarios you will encounter on the floor.

This is the training that separates a compliant facility from a cited one.
