Behind the Scenes with NETEC’s Education & Training Team
Share this article
Every training module, checklist, or infographic you’ve used from NETEC has a story behind it — a story of collaboration, creativity, and a deep commitment to healthcare worker safety.
In the latest episode of Transmission Interrupted, host Jill Morgan (Emory University Hospital, PPE Work Group co-lead) sits down with the NETEC Education & Training team:
- Sharon Vanairsdale Carrasco, Director of Education and Training
- Jason Noble and Benjamin Mattson, Instructional Designers
- Michael Konomos, Medical Illustrator & Visual Designer
- Britton Clark, Project Manager
Together, they explain how NETEC transforms complex information into practical, usable education for hospitals, EMS, and public health professionals. From checklists to podcasts, webinars to in-depth training courses, the team shares how they:
- Prioritize what resources need to be developed most urgently, based on facility gaps, subject matter expert input, and real-world questions.
- Adapt to changing needs — whether that’s responding to an emerging outbreak or aligning with new preparedness standards.
- Leverage visuals and design, using icons, illustrations, and clear layouts to make even complex steps (like PPE donning/doffing) easy to follow.
- Apply “micro-learning” techniques so busy healthcare workers can access what they need quickly, whether that’s a 90-second video or a blog post recapping a webinar.
- Balance competing demands, managing contributions from subject matter experts, project timelines, and the urgent realities of healthcare practice.
This conversation goes beyond the “what” of NETEC education to reveal the “how” — the behind-the-scenes process of turning expertise into tools that healthcare professionals can use immediately.
At its core, the episode highlights a shared mission: making sure every hospital, every clinician, and every team member has the training and confidence to respond when special pathogens appear.
