Our Past, Our Present, and Our Future

It all began in 1974 as a grassroots organization established by professionals in infection prevention and control to expand the knowledge and networking among those dedicated to the safety of their patients and colleagues in healthcare. As a unique organization, we have a diversified membership group which includes epidemiologists, nurses, medical technologists, pharmacists, physicians and more. Having such a diverse network allows us to gain knowledge from the experience and expertise of each other.

Over the decades, EPIC has withstood the tests of outbreaks and epidemics together. Collaborating to continue in the education and perseverance of fighting infectious diseases and their transmissions. We continue everyday, without glorifying one, but celebrating as a whole, the world of infection prevention.

Our dedicated members, as well as distinguished guests, gather together each month for a productive and engaging meeting. During these gatherings, we engage in meaningful discussions pertaining to business matters, all while relishing in the camaraderie and knowledge-sharing fostered by a brief educational presentation over a delightful lunch. This well-rounded approach not only provides a necessary break from our daily work routines, but also nurtures an atmosphere conducive to building valuable professional connections and expanding our understanding. We have successfully transitioned from our initial format of meeting in-person monthly to adopting a more flexible approach in these challenging times. In response to the fluidity of the situation, we have implemented a hybrid venue, combining both in-person and virtual elements. This innovative approach allows us to maintain continuity and adaptability, ensuring that we can continue our essential work in infection control while being mindful of the changing circumstances.

Each year, EPIC holds an engaging and informative educational conference aimed at enhancing the knowledge and experience of attendees. Our conference is designed to bring together professionals from various disciplines, including epidemiologists and preventionists in infection control, to foster a vibrant atmosphere of learning and networking. We extend a warm invitation to individuals from all backgrounds and levels of expertise to join us for a full day dedicated to expanding their understanding and connections in the field.
