Nurse Training on Immunization Project (Nurse TIP) by University of Albany School Of Public Health
Nurse TIP recognizes that nurses play an integral role in the success of immunization programs. Nurses are often the first point of contact at any health care visit and can have considerable influence on the public health practices of a community. The goal of the project is to increase the knowledge and competency of nurses in immunization by offering relevant content in a variety of distance-learning approaches.
