The APIC Corporate Champion program is a formal partnership between APIC and rising industry leaders with the shared vision of a safer world through the prevention of infection. The long-term relationships established with industry partners play an important role in supporting many of the educational initiatives and services that benefit the APIC’s membership, which includes, nurses, physicians, epidemiologists, microbiologists, and other infection prevention and control professionals.
“We are excited to welcome Contec as an APIC Corporate Champion,” said APIC CEO Devin Jopp, EdD. “Together, we can take great strides in creating a safer world through the prevention of infection.”
