Abstract:

The prevention of health care-associated infections is an international concern. Infection preventionists across the world play a key role in assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating infection control policies. In 2015, the APIC launched the MegaSurvey to establish the state of the infection preventionist workforce. This brief report will describe and compare responses from the United States, Canada, and "other" countries to establish a professional baseline and set an agenda for future international collaborations.
