Team

In April 2014, APIC Consulting staff approached several leaders of APIC with a new concept, an APIC designation program for infection prevention and control programs of excellence that meet certain criteria points.

The Program of Distinction was developed by the Core Development Team, and assessed by the Vetting Team, with the assistance of several advisors. A separate group of appraisers and program staff execute the operations of the program. Read more about the background and history of the APIC^® Program of Distinction.
