APIC Chapters
The Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) plays a vital role in advancing the field of infection prevention and control. APIC's chapter conferences provide invaluable opportunities for professionals to come together, share knowledge, network, and discuss the latest trends and challenges in infection prevention. These conferences are tailored to enhance professional development and provide insights into cutting-edge practices, making them a cornerstone for those dedicated to promoting safer healthcare environments.
As 2024 winds down and 2025 approaches, APIC chapters nationwide are gearing up for regional, state, and local conferences designed to empower infection preventionists and health care workers. These events will feature varying formats, including keynote speakers, interactive workshops, and panel discussions on emerging pathogens, technology's impact on infection control, antibiotic stewardship, and effective outbreak management. Participants will gain practical tools and strategies to apply within their organizations, enhancing their ability to prevent and manage health care-associated infections (HAIs).
