Introduction
One of the lessons we learnt post-SARS is the value of an informed healthcare workforce on the importance of infection control and their competence in its practices. Like many, we instituted mandatory orientation in Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) since then, for the 9,000 healthcare workers at our 1600-bedded acute tertiary care hospital. However, we face challenges in having the new hires trained early enough in their job for their safety.
