Tuberculosis Education

Education is a key goal for the TB Treatment and Control Clinic. We offer education to healthcare professionals and the general public free of charge. A public health nurse will educate groups from 5 to 500 people free of charge. No CEUs or CMEs are available at this time.

Education focuses on key tuberculosis treatment and control guidelines, including the proper steps to take if you suspect TB in a patient, employee or friend.

For more information about TB training, contact Laurie Hickstein at (702) 759-1369 or email TBClinic@snhdmail.org.
