demonstrations and interactive activities to teach and examine best practices
for the prevention of SSIs. The learning module is now available on our

outbreak guidelines are currently posted for review on our website at www.picnetbc.ca. The GI Outbreak Working

the surveillance for, and the identification and control of gastrointestinal
illness outbreaks. Please provide us with your comments using the feedback
