This course studies the chain of transmission based on information from Public Health Ontario. Learners click through the six links in the chain of transmission to learn what each one is, then again to see how COVID-19 fits into the links, then the most important part - controlling for and breaking each link. Learners complete an interactive exercise that matches items with the appropriate link in the chain of transmission.
Putting on or “donning” and taking off or “doffing” personal protective equipment (PPE) properly prevents staff from pathogens and spreading pathogens. This course includes videos on putting on and removing surgical masks properly, putting on a cone n95 respirator and taking off a cone n95 respirator. Learners are required to drag and drop donning icons in the correct order. If they are correct, they skip the donning demonstration. Learners watch a video on taking off full PPE. They are then required to drag and drop doffing icons in the correct order. Again, if they are correct, they skip the doffing demonstration. Learners review donning and doffing education sheets.
This course is intended for Self-Collection drop-off locations. The drop-off location is the identified Health Information Custodian and acts as the Ordering Clinician for the submission of the patient lab test order into the Ontario Laboratories Information System - OLIS.
By the end of this course, drop-off locations should understand their role, responsibilities and the patient self-collection process. It will review the lab role, drop-off location and lab set-up as well as how to request service support.
Upon completion, the Ontario Health on-boarding team will be notified and your unique drop-off location QR code and URL will be provided.
You will then be identified as a drop-off location for COVID-19 Self-Collection.
This course ensure users have the knowledge and understanding required to successfully submit a digital COVID-19 test requisition into the Ontario Laboratories Information System - OLIS.

The last person to be imprisoned for homosexuality in Canada was Everett George Klippert. This controversial decision leads directly to the Criminal Law Amendment Act (Bill C-150). It is an omnibus bill that, among other things, decriminalizes gay sex. However, the struggle continued.
In America, on June 28, 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn, a popular Greenwich Village bar catering to LGBTQ+ customers. Decades of escalating, state-sanctioned harassment led officers to expect everyone to leave quietly as usual. But if that had happened, it wouldn’t have made history.
Decades of oppression of the LGBTQ+ community, cultural shifts in the 1960s, and good troublemaking became a catalyst for change and a symbol for LGBTQ+ rights that evolved into today’s Pride festivals and marches. This course explores the key events and personalities in North America that ultimately shaped a global movement.
The quality of care staff give to residents is reflective of the training they receive, their attitude and approach to care. At Learnici, we understand LTC. Our training development team has worked in various Long-term Care / PSW positions.
