Infection Control Program & Service

     Fellows have ample opportunity to become familiar with the fields of Infection Prevention & Control, and hospital epidemiology. All fellows are members of the Infection Prevention and Control Committee and attend meetings the 3^rd Thursday of alternating months.  In addition, the Fellows participate in scheduled didactic conferences focusing on such topics.  Fellows may also participate in selected Infection Prevention & Control task forces on request.  Task forces include the Bloodstream Infection Prevention (CLA-BSI) Task Force, the Urinary Tract Infection Prevention (CA-UTI) Task Force, and the Hand Hygiene Task Force, among others.  Fellows may also choose to do their research project in Infection Prevention and Control related areas, participate in outbreak investigations, or do elective rotations within the Department under the aegis of the Infectious Diseases Fellowship training program.
