Last year I joined the faculty of the annual ESCMID-SHEA training course in hospital epidemiology. It was one of the most rewarding and educational experiences I've had during my 15 years in hospital epidemiology. The course is held annually in a location that allows close interaction and fellowship between the students and faculty. For this year, we've updated the content with a new course concept. The course has three contemporaneous modules:
Module A: Healthcare-associated Infection Prevention and Management Core Module (Limit 50 participants)
Module B: Applied Infection Control Module (Limit 35 participants)
Module C: Healthcare-associated Infection Advanced Epidemiology Module (Limit 25 participants)
Date: 22-25 September 2013
Please see the brochure and website for further details on registration and the individual modules.
