Goals and Learning Outcomes

In just over a year’s time, COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, has changed Americans’ way of life and how healthcare is delivered in the U.S. Guidelines governing preventive measures, including how we interact with everyone from patients to members of our own families, have undergone a process of near-constant evolution. Treatment recommendations have been regularly updated as scientists and providers have learned more about how the virus affects the human body. This course provides an overview of the latest information about the virus, preventing transmission, illness classification and treatment of patients with symptomatic disease, and currently authorized vaccines.

The goal of this course is to educate healthcare professionals in acute care settings about prevention and treatment of COVID-19.

Disclaimer: The COVID-19 pandemic is an ongoing challenge for healthcare workers worldwide. Recommendations will be revised as the situation evolves, treatment guidelines change based on continued research, and restrictions and regulations are updated. Continue to follow local and institutional laws and policies.


After taking this course, you should be able to:

  • • List signs and symptoms of COVID-19 infection, including postviral long haul syndrome.
  • • Describe how the SARS-CoV-2 virus is transmitted in community and healthcare settings and how it is prevented, diagnosed, and treated.
  • • Differentiate vaccinations for COVID-19 approved in the U.S. and list guidelines, side effects, and contraindications for vaccination against COVID-19.
