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 program began in 2025 and will continue through Spring 2027. As part of Year Two, beginning in August 2026, we will offer eight in-person Infectious Disease courses—four Foundations courses and four Principles courses—with one of each provided in each healthcare coalition region.
Foundations Course Topics Include:

Principles Course Topics Include:
