Certified Professional in Infection Control (CPIC)

Approved from American institute for healthcare. Inclusive

CME.

Unlike other certification courses on infection control, the main strength of this CPIC course is to provide clear, up-to-date and practical guidance in infection control in an easy to read format which can act as a quick source of reference on all aspects of HCIA for healthcare workers who are either directly or indirectly involved in prevention and control of HCIAs. Although the course’s main audience is infection control practitioners such as doctors, nurses, public health physicians, it is also a valuable reference for environmental health officers, health educators, practice managers in GP surgeries, and health service managers.
