posted on

The Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) Graduate Certificate focuses on helping professionals prepare to make a meaningful impact in healthcare environments. This 100% online program offers the tools and knowledge to help prevent, manage, and contain the spread of infectious diseases in clinical and public health settings.

Our graduate certificate program offers the opportunity to:

Manage environmental health risks using epidemiological principles

Develop and implement infection prevention and control programs

Design surveillance systems for early detection and response

Interpret infection control data to improve outcomes

With coursework grounded in real-world application, the IPC Graduate Certificate is designed to support your goals to improve infection control efforts in hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, and other healthcare settings.

You could also use this program as a stepping stone to prepare for the Certification in Infection Control (CIC®) credential examination, issued by the Certification Board of Infection Control and Epidemiology (CBIC).
