The TB Treatment and Control Clinic is committed to providing free, cutting edge, and relevant TB education to health care professionals, corrections personnel and the general public.

Our current projects include in-service training at correctional institutions and major local hospitals, student rotations at the clinic, regular educational conferences, and educational films.

A clinic staff member will educate groups from 5 to 500 people free of charge. No CEUs or CMEs are available at this time.

For more information about scheduling an educational event, contact Laurie Hickstein at (702) 759-1369 or email TBClinic@snhdmail.org.
