Tuberculosis Program Manual Template

The Tuberculosis Program Manual Template is a set of fully editable Word files that provides standardized guidance to public health staff in a low-incidence region. Created from the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, expert opinion, and input from an advisory panel of representatives from the four states (Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming), the Tuberculosis Program Manual Template covers a comprehensive range of topics designed to meet the needs of low-incidence states/jurisdictions.
