Seminar: Infection Control Technology

Catalog description

This graduate seminar explores the evolving technologies that support infection prevention and control in healthcare, community, and global contexts. Students will examine electronic surveillance systems, disinfection and sterilization innovations, digital epidemiology tools, and communication platforms used by hospitals, public health departments, and international agencies. Through discussion, demonstrations, and applied analysis, students will assess the benefits, limitations, and ethical implications of infection control technologies. Emphasis is placed on how advanced practice nurses and infection preventionists integrate these tools into evidence-based practice and outbreak management.
