Infectious Disease Prevention and Control

Drexel Dornsife's Infectious Disease Prevention and Control program covers the major risks for infection in health care settings, surveillance and prevention strategies for health care-associated infections, important bacterial and viral pathogens that cause disease in humans, quality improvement and safety within healthcare systems, and epidemiology, including methods specific to infectious disease epidemiology. As the infectious disease field faces staffing shortages, professionals with training in the control and prevention of infectious disease are needed around the world in public health agencies, health care settings, nonprofit organizations, and the pharmaceutical sector.

Credits from the certificate can be rolled into the MS in Infection Prevention and Control. The master's program prepares students for frontline and leadership positions in infection prevention and control.
