Disinfection, Sterilization and Medical Waste Management The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
This self-paced online course provides healthcare professionals with critical knowledge and practical guidance on infection prevention and medical waste handling across clinical settings. Learners will explore and differentiate the essential processes of cleaning, disinfection, sterilization, and regulated medical waste management, focusing on their respective levels of microbial elimination.
Participants will gain expertise in applying the Spaulding Classification System to categorize medical devices and determine appropriate disinfection or sterilization protocols. The course examines the roles and regulations of key agencies—such as the CDC, EPA, OSHA, FDA, and CMS—highlighting their specific requirements for infection control and waste management in healthcare environments.
Through real-world case studies, learners will identify common compliance failures in reprocessing workflows and evaluate their potential impact on patient safety, survey readiness, and facility operations. The course also trains participants to accurately interpret manufacturer Instructions for Use (IFUs) and implement standard operating procedures using validation tools like chemical and biological indicators to ensure protocol adherence and sterilization efficacy.
This course is designed to help recognize risk points, avoid regulatory violations, and support a culture of safety and accountability within their organization.

Introduction to Infection Control
Preventing the spread of infectious agents is a vital component of healthcare services. This course provides an applied overview of infection control guidelines, the six links in the chain of infection, various modes of transmission, and the factors that make individuals susceptible hosts. Participants will review how to identify common pathogens—including “superbugs” (MDROs)—and apply strategies to eliminate transmission through standard precautions, proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and environmental controls.
