TB Training Roadmap for Public Health Nurses

This Training Roadmap allows you to design a personalized training guide, utilizing a wide range of existing resources. The materials included in the Roadmap are our recommendations for a nurse who is new to TB. Many of these materials are also appropriate for other TB staff, such as disease investigators.
