San Diego & Imperial County APIC Chapter Presents
Long Term Care Facility Infection Prevention Virtual Conference
November 17, 2023
9:00am to 2:30pm PST
Virtual half-day event, using Zoom
In the previous years, the COVID-19 pandemic has magnified the need for infection preventionist in the most vulnerable healthcare settings. Federal regulations will have a considerable impact on how long-term care facilities address infection prevention and control. To help prepare these facilities for the change and provide a network of resources, San Diego & Imperial County Association of Professionals in Infection Control (APIC) will provide healthcare professionals working in long-term care facilities (LTCF) with infection prevention and control information that are both fundamental and unique to the LTCF practice setting.
