Education

Throughout its 21 years of activity, education of beginning and advanced professionals in infection control has occupied a major portion of the organization’s time. The first statewide conference, "Developing an Effective Infection Control Program", was designed and managed by the Department of Health Services, Infection Control Section and held at Asilomar in October 1974. With the inception of CACC, the state asked for representation and assistance with the program. In 1986, the program became solely a CACC function and with it a formal financial design was developed, the "Joint Venture Agreement", which provided for chapter level fiscal responsibility for both the beginning and advanced programs.

The beginning and advanced programs are held alternate years.

Advanced Program

CACC decided to cancel the Advanced Infection Control Educational Program, scheduled for the fall of 2007, since the National Educational Program is being held in San Jose, June 2007. The Advanced Program will be held again in 2009 - the data and place will be announced.

Foundation of Infection Control

The Foundations of Infection Control will be held the fall of 2009. The place and location will be announced Spring 2008.
