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....

The course covered a lot of information, yet was so clear. I feel confident I can go out and provide outstanding service as a Contact Tracer. I have begun to revise a resume and send out inquiry letters so far.

The information provided was presented in a manner for both healthcare workers and layman alike. Though Layman would like to view the info a second time, or revisit each section, before moving on to the next.

Very interesting course, maybe a little technical, and it could be necessary to do an advanced course for the health professional. But I want to congratulate the course for the extreme importance of the theme.

Easy to listen to and learn. Great real-life phone contact between contact tracer and cases or contacts. If more of the public took course, there might be less resistance to wearing masks and staying informed.
