What is the Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Certificate?
The IPC Certificate is a continuing education certificate designed to meet the basic educational needs of front line health care professionals in or considering a career in the field of infection prevention and control.
The Certificate consists of four courses: three on-line courses using a problem-based, interactive format relevant to the practice of infection prevention and control, and a clerkship in clinical infection control. The on-line, three-credit university recognized courses may be taken as stand-alone courses towards a Bachelor or Masters in Science, Nursing or Epidemiology with the permission of the individual's appropriate university department. The clerkship course may only be completed as part of the Certificate.
