Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the Infection Control Training for New York State Healthcare Professionals course?

    This course is designed to help healthcare professionals understand infection prevention in a practical, workplace-focused way. It usually covers infection control principles, how diseases spread, PPE and barrier precautions, cleaning practices, exposure prevention, and other steps that help reduce transmission in healthcare settings. New York’s infection control training law now expressly includes sepsis within the required infection-control training framework.

  • Who must complete the mandated infection control training in New York?

    This requirement applies to specific licensed professionals practicing in New York. Under NYSED rules, that includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, dentists, dental hygienists, optometrists, podiatrists, and athletic trainers. Physicians, physician assistants, and specialist assistants also have a related infection control training requirement under separate state rules. Some exemptions may apply based on the nature of practice, and for some professions not currently practicing in New York, the training is not required until practice resumes.

  • Does this course meet the New York State Education Department (NYSED) infection control requirement?

    It meets the requirement only if it is the NYSED-approved version offered by an approved provider and is appropriate for the learner’s profession. That part matters. A course can cover the right topic and still be the wrong choice if the provider is not approved or the course is not matched to the professional group it is intended for.

  • How many CE contact hours does this course provide?

    Based on the course details you shared, this course provides 4 contact hours. That makes it a straightforward option for professionals who want a single course focused on the New York infection control requirement without extra filler.

  • Is this training required for nurses, physicians, and other healthcare professionals in New York?

    Yes, but not in a one-size-fits-all way. Practicing RNs and LPNs have this requirement under NYSED rules, and physicians, physician assistants, and specialist assistants have a similar four-year training requirement under related state law. Several other licensed professions in New York also fall under the infection control training requirement, so the safest move is to check your profession-specific licensing guidance before assuming you are exempt.

  • How often do I need to take infection control training in New York State?

    For covered professions, the rule is generally every four years. Covered professionals attest to completion at registration and re-registration, and some inactive professionals in certain categories have 90 days to complete the training once they resume practicing in New York.

  • Can I complete this course online at my own pace?

    Approved infection control courses are available online, and NYSED notes that some providers offer the training in a distance format. Whether the course is fully self-paced depends on the provider’s setup, but online options absolutely exist, which is why many busy professionals choose this format.

  • Will I receive a certificate of completion after finishing the course?

    For approved infection control training, providers issue a Certification of Completion after the learner finishes the course. You should keep that certificate for your records because NYSED or another state body may require it later, even though many professionals simply attest to completion during registration.

  • Does this course cover infection prevention, PPE, and transmission prevention?

    Yes. A proper New York State infection control training course is built around infection prevention practices, barrier precautions, exposure control, and steps that help reduce the spread of infection in professional practice. New York’s legal framework also ties the training to preventing transmission of HIV, HBV, HCV, and infections that could lead to sepsis.

  • Is this course accepted for license renewal in New York?

    An approved infection control course that is appropriate to your profession is used to satisfy New York’s infection control training requirement. The real issue is not whether the title sounds right, but whether the provider is approved and whether the course fits your profession. If both of those are true, the training is used for the required attestation at registration and re-registration.
