Leadership and Management in Infection Prevention
Develop the knowledge, skills, awareness, and mindset to be an effective and impactful leader throughout your facility and network.
The need for interdisciplinary thinking and an ability to see the full picture means that infection preventionists (IPs) are poised to be natural leaders in any healthcare setting. However, Leadership, one of the six future-oriented competency domains in APIC’s Competency Model for the IP, is also an essential, strategic skillset that requires training, reinforcement, and development.
Develop the knowledge, skills, awareness, and mindset to be an effective and impactful leader throughout your facility and network.
