On October 06, 2011 at the Diagnostic Labratory in Burbank, California, 12 attendees became certified Fit Testing Trainers. DSD & DON's hailed from: Paramount Convalescent Hospital, Vista Del Monte, Pamona Vista Care Center, Jewish Home for the Aging, Bell Convalescent Hospital, Kingsley Manor Care Center, Sun Mar Community Care and Rehab, Country Oaks Care Center and the County of Los Angeles Public Health.
In order to gain BRMS Fit Test Trainer certification each trainee was required to pass an exam and had to demonstrate competence as both a fit test evaluator and fit tester.
In addition to fit testing certification, all participating organizations receive a sample Aerosol Transmissible Disease (ATD) program that integrates the CAHF Respiratory Protection Plan (RPP) and Nursing Home Incident Command System (NHICS).
