ASC Infection Control Coordinator Training-Infection Control Oversight 201

This full-day course focuses on more advanced topics in ASC Infection Control and is a companion to our ASC Infection Control Coordinator Training 101.

While Infection Control 101 focused on developing basic skills for an Infection Control Coordinator and how to develop and maintain an Infection Control Plan, this advanced program focuses on more advanced areas of their responsibilities, including a discussion of how to prepare the annual infection control risk assessment, how to conduct an infection investigation, and how to develop surveillance tools and training materials.

Together with Infection Control 101, this advanced course will help prepare Infection Control Coordinators to take the Certified Ambulatory Infection Preventionist (CAIP) Exam. The CAIP Certification is for Infection Control Preventionists with a comprehensive understanding of the skills and knowledge that the role of an ASC infection preventionist requires. To obtain the certification, an individual must meet certain eligibility requirements and achieve a passing score on an examination designed specifically to test the knowledge considered relevant to be an infection preventionist in an ASC.

We have applied for up to 7.5 hours of AEUs and up to 7.5 hours of IPCHs.

Date, Time and Format:

The Conference will be presented through Virtual Conferencing on September 27, 2024.

The format is six individual presentations with time for questions and answers from the participants. All conferences presented by the ASC Central and the ASC Podcast with John Goehle are highly interactive and engaging.

What is included:

• All the slides from the presentations
• Tools to assist you in your duties as an infection control preventionist
• Access to the Recordings of the conference for 6 months after the live conference
• A certificate of attendance for proof of ASC specific education (Surveyors look for this in determining that you are compliant with the Conditions for Coverage).
