Training and Continuing Education Online (TCEO)

This Training uses outbreak scenarios to give students step-by-step practice with completing environmental assessments as part of large outbreak investigations outside of the local food service establishment, from the initiation of the investigation through wrap-up and reporting. Students practice

• interviewing food workers,
• reviewing restaurant records,
• observing food handling practices and procedures,
• taking environmental samples, and
• using critical thinking to determine contributing factors and environmental antecedents to an outbreak.
