“I feel by initiating the a-IPC on my own it shows my commitment to my position and my desire to be in this specialty for the long haul. I am hoping certification and hard work will help establish trust and allow me to change the perception of Infection Prevention from being the hall monitor of handwashing to becoming an integral partnership within every discipline and department in healthcare by building a strong foundation using evidence-based practice, trust, and respect. “
