Dear Colleagues,
I wanted to provide you with an update regarding the new Advanced Leadership Certification in Infection Prevention and Control (AL-CIP). The AL-CIP promises to elevate our commitment to infection prevention and control (IPC) and the role of those who impact the profession. We recognize that the implementation of effective IPC initiatives requires more than just technical expertise—it demands visionary leadership, strategic influence, and the ability to drive change.
We have compiled frequently asked questions (FAQs) designed to address common questions and provide detailed information about the certification process, benefits, requirements, and more.
We invite you to learn more about the AL-CIP and consider how it can enhance your professional journey and impact. For more information, please visit our website or contact the CBIC office directly, info@cbic.org.
Thank you for your continued dedication to advancing IPC and ensuring the highest standards of patient care. Together, we can lead the way to a safer, healthier future free of preventable healthcare-associated Infections.
Warm regards,
Andrea Flinchum, MPH, BSN, RN, CIC, LTC-CIP, FAPIC
