Managing infection prevention and control (IPC) in long-term care settings presents a unique set of challenges and issues. This training provides the foundation of the role of the infection preventionist (IP) and the practice of being an effective IP in a long-term care setting, including creating and managing successful IPC programs and mitigating risk at your facility.

This intensive training course covers essential training and competency-building in infection prevention and control (IPC) for healthcare professionals in Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) and Ambulatory Settings. You will cover the fundamental components of infection prevention and control in Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) and Ambulatory Settings, including risk assessment, how to develop an effective infection prevention program to protect patients, accrediting and regulatory compliance, and the evidence-based best practices that improve patient, staff, and facility safety.

This novice level course, designed for infection preventionists with 3 years or less of experience, provides intensive fundamental infection prevention training for healthcare professionals working in different practice settings. You will learn how to develop an effective infection prevention program to protect patients and comply with accrediting and regulatory requirements through evidenced-based best practices that reduce risk.

Designed for those preparing to take the CIC exam or recertification exam, this interactive course will teach the fundamental concepts of IPC practice and provide test preparation tips, strategies, and practice questions. Access guidance for developing a personal study plan and identify test-taking strategies. Please note: This class will not teach IPC basics. It will help attendees develop familiarity with the CIC exam content and structure and will help develop confidence for taking the exam.

Infection prevention is one of the most powerful tools for protecting patients, staff, and the long-term health of your veterinary practice. This interactive workshop brings infection prevention and control (IPC) to life by connecting evidence-based principles with the real-world challenges veterinary teams face every day. Through case-based discussions, collaborative problem-solving, and hands-on activities, participants will explore practical strategies to reduce infection risks, strengthen clinic protocols, and build a culture of safety within their facility. Whether you're refining existing procedures or developing new approaches, you'll leave with actionable tools, resources, and confidence to tackle infectious disease threats before they impact your patients, team, or operations.

Behavioral health care settings present distinct infection prevention and control (IPC) challenges, where traditional practices must often be adapted to support patient safety, dignity, and the unique needs of the care environment. Join infection prevention experts from across behavioral health care and The Joint Commission for an interactive exploration of core IPC principles, common regulatory concerns, and practical approaches to real-world challenges. Attendees will then put these concepts into practice through facilitated, population-based breakout scenarios addressing environment of care, outbreak management, and infection prevention in settings with limited dedicated IP resources.
