Yes, we’ve structured our online curriculum around the topics we’ve discussed previously in our popular live Bloodborne Pathogens and Infection Prevention and Control seminar, and we’ve also built upon this foundation to offer the newest industry best practices as it pertains to COVID-19. Due to the pandemic, all of our live seminars are currently cancelled. We’ve had interest from many artists, asking for an online version of our seminars for some time and we’re happy to make this seminar available online to allow more artists across Canada to have access.
