#38 The Novice Roadmap for the Infection Preventionist: Go Your Own Way

https://5secondruleshow.org/episode-player/2088/38-novice-roadmap-for-infection-preventionist.mp3

The Novice Roadmap for the Infection Preventionist is an orientation guide and a pathway to earning your CIC. Listen to two of the Roadmap’s creators as they discuss the Do’s and Don’ts of how to engage with this valuable tool and how to get the most out of your journey through the infection prevention field.

Hosted by:

Marie Wilson, MS, RN, CIC and Jay Liggins, MS, CIC

The roadmap gave me a sense of direction and an idea of what it meant to find your way toward becoming an efficient and competent infection preventionist.


The hosts and guests of this 5 Second Rule episode would like to express their indebtedness to the committed group of volunteers and staff who updated and created the interactive web version of the Novice Roadmap for the Infection Preventionist currently located on apic.org.
