The model builds on the core competencies defined by the Certification Board of Infection Control and Epidemiology: identification of infectious disease processes; surveillance and epidemiologic investigations; preventing/controlling the transmission of infectious agents; employee/occupational health; management and communication (leadership); and education and research.
APIC established four domains for future-oriented competency development. These domains are designed to help IPs build on the core competencies and advance their careers.
The four domains include the following:
1. Leadership.
2. Infection prevention and control.
3. Technology.
4. Performance improvement/implementation science.
