5 Second Rule
APIC, the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, is excited to present our podcast: 5 Second Rule.
Why did we choose this name for the podcast? You’ve likely heard (or said!) ‘5 second rule’ after dropping a piece of food on the floor. The challenged ‘5 second rule’ theory provides an excuse to continue eating, so long as you pick it up within that coveted 5 seconds.
The APIC 5 Second Rule podcast is intended to be an entertaining conversation between hosts, colleagues, and experts in infection prevention. The podcast aims to be light-hearted and therapeutic to listeners, to celebrate the accomplishments of APIC members, to excite listeners about the profession of infection prevention, and to provide a high-level overview of key tools for aiding infection preventionists in their work. We hope the listener will find themselves invigorated in the community of infection preventionists and our colleagues, specifically those involved with APIC.
Who is APIC? We’re a non-profit professional association representing nearly 16,000 infection preventionists (IPs) around the world. Our members develop and direct infection prevention and control programs that save lives and improve the bottom line for healthcare facilities. Established in 1972, APIC provides the education, advocacy, knowledge, and access to the latest scientific evidence to help IPs do their jobs better.
