The Curry International Tuberculosis Center (CITC) has updated its Tuberculosis Case Management and Contact Investigation Intensive (TB CMCI) by shifting from a series of live virtual trainings to a hybrid format. This includes five online self-paced modules, and one live interactive session. This online, asynchronous training for nurses and public health/disease control investigators can be accessed, started, and revisited at any time during the course term.

Each asynchronous module will take approximately 30-60 minutes to complete. Level 1 covers the following modules:

1. Tuberculosis Basics
2. Tuberculosis Contact Investigation Framework and Tools
3. Tuberculosis Patient Interview
4. Diagnosing Latent TB Infection
5. Case Management and Coordination of Latent TB Infection Treatment and Care
