In its Vision 2012: A Strategic Plan, the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc. (APIC) states that APIC will be recognized as the leader in infection prevention and control. However, if the APIC Strategic Plan is to be advanced by its members, infection control professionals must choose a leadership role by becoming certified, validating their competency and setting a standard of excellence. Certification by the Certification Board of Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc. (CBIC) validates an infection control professional's competence to the public, the profession, employers, and regulators. The White Paper presented here by the CBIC provides a rationale for certification and recertification in infection prevention and control practice.
在其《2012年愿景：战略计划》中，感染控制与流行病学专业人员协会（APIC）指出，APIC将被公认为感染预防与控制领域的领导者。然而，如果APIC战略计划要由其成员推动，感染控制专业人员必须通过获得认证、验证自身能力并树立卓越标准来选择领导角色。由感染控制与流行病学认证委员会（CBIC）进行的认证，向公众、行业、雇主和监管机构证明了感染控制专业人员的能力。CBIC在此发布的白皮书为感染预防与控制实践中的认证和再认证提供了理论依据。
