Provides education about food preparation, foods to avoid, and care for patients who have contracted a foodborne illness.
Goals and Outcomes
Goals and Learning Outcomes
Because infectious outbreaks from contaminated food are such a problem in the United States, healthcare professionals in all settings need to be familiar with the common foodborne pathogens that can be present in home, restaurant, and even hospital kitchens. With this knowledge, healthcare professionals can provide education about proper food preparation, inform special patient populations about foods to avoid, and care for patients who have contracted a foodborne illness.

After taking this course, you should be able to:

  • Give two reasons why foodborne illness is occurring more often
  • Describe the four most common serious foodborne illnesses, including sources of contamination, signs and symptoms, and treatment options
  • Name five precautions to take when preparing food
