Providers and Infection Preventionists
Explore opportunities for onsite training, mentorship, networking, and interactive meetings for providers and infection preventionists (IPs). Stay updated on critical topics through skill demonstrations, education sessions, and collaborative forums.
- Critical Access Hospital IP Coffee Hour is a monthly networking opportunity for Critical Access Hospital (CAH) IPs. Our goal is to encourage interaction and connections between CAH IPs, seek advice and discuss current topics in a supportive, non-regulatory platform. This forum is facilitated by IPs certified in infection control (CIC) with experience working in CAHs.
