| Certification has, as its
primary purpose the increased protection of the public by providing
an objective measurement of -standardized current knowledge
recognized and respected within and outside the field of infection
prevention/control (IC) and epidemiology. Infection control
professionals (ICPs) can demonstrate a mastery of this knowledge by
taking and passing a comprehensive examination developed by APIC's
independent credentialing arm, the Certification Board for Infection
Control and Epidemiology (CBIC). ICPs who are certified are
authorized and encouraged to use the internationally recognized
initials CIC® after their names and in their
titles.
Initial certification is good for five years after
which successful completion of recertification exams extend
certification at five-year intervals
