Minnesota APIC Chapter Information

APIC MN is an organization of over 300 infection control professionals practicing in a wide range of settings, such as acute care, long term care, clinics, schools, home care, and correctional facilities, serving as liaisons to the community in which we live.

An Organization Built On Dedicated Members

Most of of the APIC Minnesota members are nurses or laboratorians, but our organization includes professionals from other disciplines as well.  These dedicated members also serve on our board and part of specific committees.

All members bring to the organization special knowledge, insight, and skills related to infection control and epidemiology. APIC MN membership helps each of us in our quest for knowledge as well as personal and professional growth. There is a place and a need for each of us whether we are new in the practice or long-time members.
