Describe procedures for when an individual tests positive for TB
Description
Tuberculosis remains a significant occupational health concern for healthcare workers, who face an elevated risk of exposure compared to the general population due to their proximity to infected or potentially infected patients. Without proper training, awareness, and precautionary practices, TB can spread rapidly in hospitals, clinics, and other medical facilities — putting staff, patients, and visitors at risk. This course is designed to educate healthcare personnel on the risks, transmission, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of tuberculosis, incorporating the evidence-based work practices recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to minimize the spread of disease in healthcare environments.
Learners will explore the definition and common symptoms of tuberculosis and gain a clear understanding of the critical distinction between TB infection and active TB disease. The course covers how TB is transmitted, how testing and diagnosis are conducted, and the procedures that must be followed when an individual tests positive. Learners will also develop a working knowledge of the appropriate personal protective equipment, isolation procedures, and engineering controls used to minimize exposure risk in healthcare settings.
Upon completion, healthcare workers will be equipped to recognize TB risks, apply CDC-recommended prevention strategies, and respond appropriately to confirmed or suspected cases in their facility.

Our Story: From Service Members to Service Providers
Evolve eLearning Solutions started in 2003 with a simple observation: compliance training didn’t have to be painful. Founded by veterans of the United States Marine Corps and Navy, we brought a service-first mentality to an industry that often felt like an afterthought.
In the military, training isn’t optional—it’s how you stay mission-ready. We saw organizations struggling with the same challenge: keeping teams trained, compliant, and confident without derailing daily operations. The solutions available were either overpriced, overcomplicated, or both.
So, we built something different. Training that respects people’s time. Support that actually solves problems. Pricing that makes sense for real budgets. No enterprise sales pitches, no feature bloat—just effective compliance training delivered by people who understand what it means to serve.
Two decades later, that approach hasn’t changed. We’ve grown from a handful of courses to a comprehensive library covering OSHA, HIPAA, HR/EEO, and more. But we’re still the same team that picks up the phone, remembers your name, and treats your compliance challenges like they matter—because they do.
