About the Course

The COVID-19 crisis has created an unprecedented need for contact tracing across the country, requiring thousands of people to learn key skills quickly. The job qualifications for contact tracing positions differ throughout the country and the world, with some new positions open to individuals with a high school diploma or equivalent. In this introductory course, students will learn about the science of SARS-CoV-2 , including the infectious period, the clinical presentation of COVID-19, and the evidence for how SARS-CoV-2 is transmitted from person-to-person and why contact tracing can be such an effective public health intervention. Students will learn about how contact tracing is done, including how to build rapport with cases, identify their contacts, and support both cases and their contacts to stop transmission in their communities. The course will also cover several important ethical considerations around contact tracing, isolation, and quarantine. Finally, the course will identify some of the most common barriers to contact tracing efforts -- along with strategies to overcome them....

Ha sido una gran oportunidad para entender mejor la cadena de transmisión del virus, además de comprender el trabajo epidemiológico detrás de la pandemia, los beneficios de la trazabilidad en la sociedad y salud pública.

The video interaction between the case/contacts and contract tracers was very informative. Quizzes after each module helped reinforce material covered. Plain language and short modules help with the self-paced learning.

I am not a contact tracer now and not going to be one, but I think the course did help. It not only provides some basic knowledge about COVID-19, but also some communication skills and something about ethics and justice.

This education is invaluable! Even if you aren't able to serve your community as a Contact Tracer, you can use this to help educate your friends, family, and neighbors and possibly prevent transmission through education.

Very intuitive virtual class design. The course itself was a bit tough, rightly so as the COVID19 pandemic requires individuals to get smart quickly about the illness, how not to get sick from it, and how to help others.

This course provided a direct, easy to understand curriculum. A few of the questions were a bit confusing, but I am sure data on the number of wrong answers could identify patterns and which questions may need adjusting.

It's a very good course and there are so many new things, especially in terms of communication skills. We hope this course will benefit other tracers and improve contact tracing to make it more efficient and effective.

Excellent course for beginners or more experienced contact tracers. I am from the UK, some of the information is more US based however still easy enough to follow and works with your countries policies and regulations.

A WELL TAILORED AND INFORMATIVE COURSE. IT RIGHTLY DEALS WITH DAY TO DAY HANDLING OF CASES AND CONTACTS. THE BEST PART WAS TYPE OF QUESTIONS TO BE ASKED TO A CASE AND CONTACTS SO AS WE CAN EXTRACT INFORMATION FROM THEM.
