Infection prevention and control in long-term care facilities and skilled nursing facilities is not a one-person job. It requires a comprehensive program and a team effort to ensure the health and safety of residents. This educational offering aims to nurture and emphasize the importance of building a robust infection control program within your facility, including and not limited to the professional development of the IP.
