Current students have the opportunity to complete Bloodborne Pathogens Training through LinkedIn Learning. This course:
- familiarizes students with OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) standards for bloodborne pathogens,
- covers common bloodborne pathogens and shows individuals how to protect themselves from exposure, and
- provides a certificate following the completion of the workshop. (Many healthcare facilities require students to receive such training before shadowing or working at the facility.)
In order to access the course, students must either create a LinkedIn Learning account or connect their personal LinkedIn account to the Gettysburg College LinkedIn Learning account, then login to the platform using their college credentials. Students who choose to link their LinkedIn Learning account to a LinkedIn profile, will benefit from an enhanced learning experience that provides personalized features along with a course history that remains accessible after graduation from Gettysburg College.
