Who We Are<\/h3>\n
\n\t

VIPTA's mission is to promote awareness of and improve access to infection prevention and control (IPC) resources and events in Virginia.\u00a0 We aim to create a statewide network of IPC partners who work together to prevent healthcare-associated infections and antimicrobial resistance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In summer 2021, the newly reformed Virginia HAI Advisory Group (VHAG) Infection Prevention (IP) Education Workgroup founded the idea of creating an IPC education collaborative.\u00a0 From the start, the goals of this collaborative were to breakdown silos and share the amazing IPC-related work happening in Virginia.\u00a0 Since then, a dedicated group of approximately 20 IP Education Workgroup members have been planning and building what we now refer to as the Virginia Infection Prevention and Control Training Alliance (VIPTA).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
