Continuing Education programs that are approved for continuing education credit (CME, CNE, etc.) are presented throughout the state by CPIDC staff and invited speakers. Seminars targeting a variety of infection control problems from nosocomial transmission in the workplace to bioterrorism and emergency preparedness are scheduled to take place in a wide range of areas from El Paso to Tyler and Laredo to Abilene. These seminars are provided in association with The HeartLand National Tuberculosis (TB) Center in San Antonio and The American Lung Association of Texas. Continuing education credits are provided for nurses and other allied health.

There is no charge for CEUs and participants pay only for food. In addition, the CPIDC provides seminars for regional physician groups, health care workers associated with the Texas Department of Corrections, city and county health departments.

The CPIDC also produces videos on selected topics in infectious diseases. Since its beginning in January 1994, the CPIDC has presented over 72 day-long seminars and 45 shorter presentations to more than 11,150 physicians, nurses and health care support workers.

CSS: This specification defines Cascading Style Sheets, level 2 (CSS2). CSS2 is a style sheet language that allows authors and users to attach style (e.g., fonts, spacing, and aural cues) to structured documents (e.g., HTML documents and XML applications). By separating the presentation style of documents from the content of documents, CSS2 simplifies Web authoring and site maintenance.
XHTML 1.1: This Recommendation defines a new XHTML document type that is based upon the module framework and modules defined in Modularization of XHTML [XHTMLMOD]. The purpose of this document type is to serve as the basis for future extended XHTML 'family' document types, and to provide a consistent, forward-looking document type cleanly separated from the deprecated, legacy functionality of HTML 4 [HTML4] that was brought forward into the XHTML 1.0 [XHTML1] document types. This document type is essentially a reformulation of XHTML 1.0 Strict using XHTML Modules. This means that many facilities available in other XHTML Family document types (e.g., XHTML Frames) are not available in this document type. These other facilities are available through modules defined in Modularization of XHTML, and document authors are free to define document types based upon XHTML 1.1 that use these facilities (see [XHTMLMOD] for information on creating new document types).
WAI-AAA: These guidelines explain how to make Web content accessible to people with disabilities. The guidelines are intended for all Web content developers (page authors and site designers) and for developers of authoring tools. The primary goal of these guidelines is to promote accessibility. However, following them will also make Web content more available to all users, whatever user agent they are using (e.g., desktop browser, voice browser, mobile phone, automobile-based personal computer, etc.) or constraints they may be operating under (e.g., noisy surroundings, under- or over-illuminated rooms, in a hands-free environment, etc.). Following these guidelines will also help people find information on the Web more quickly. These guidelines do not discourage content developers from using images, video, etc., but rather explain how to make multimedia content more accessible to a wide audience.
