Program Details
The mission of the South Carolina Long Term Care Infectious Disease Educational Program (SCLTCIDEP) is to provide CMS certified long term care facilities with critical knowledge, skills, and abilities related to infectious disease precautions, prevention, protection, and disinfection. This two-year program will run from 2025 to 2027.

The Foundations and Principles courses are designed to build on each other, but you don’t need to take them in a specific order. Participation in the Foundations course is not required before taking the Principles course.
