The DOT Trainer’s Curriculum is divided into six sessions that can be conducted as individual, stand-alone sessions or as a multi-session series. In a few instances,material from one training session has been repeated in a subsequent session. It is assumed that course participants already have basic knowledge about TB. If participants do not have this foundation, refer them to the CDC’s Self-Study Modules on Tuberculosis, Modules 1-5, or integrate the material into a training module that precedes the implementation of this curriculum.
The Trainer’s Guide contains instructions for trainers, timing guidelines, masters for overhead transparencies, and PowerPoint slides.
