We are excited to announce that the fourth annual International Infection Preventionist (IP) Day will take place on April 7, 2023 (the first Friday in April). IPs are essential healthcare workers whose job is to keep patients, staff, and communities safe from infection. This day is an opportunity for IPs worldwide to celebrate their critical role in preventing the spread of infection and protecting public health.

International IP day is a dedicated day to acknowledge the tireless work of IPs in various settings, including acute care, long-term care and nursing homes, public health, behavioral health, schools, hospitality, and correctional facilities.

Thank you from the APIC, CBIC and APIC Consulting Staff
