This article reviews 2 models of skill acquisition, 1 from nursing and the other from aviation, and compares them to the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology Competency Model for the Infection Preventionist (IP). The authors explore the mental activity associated with competence and provide usable examples for IPs to further assess their own competence, and competence of IPs in their charge. This was done for the purpose of advancing and expanding upon the career stages within the field of infection prevention. Further, we suggest a mechanism for expansion of the current Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology Competency Model for the IP, as well as explore career stages and the evolution of professional practice self-assessment and recertification. The authors believe an expansion would better match the needs of current and future IPs in terms of career development and competency.
本文回顾了护理和航空领域的 2 种技能获取模式，并将其与感染预防专家（IP）的职业专业人员感染控制和流行病学能力模型进行了比较。作者探讨了与能力相关的心理活动，并为 IP 提供了有用的示例，以进一步评估他们自己的能力以及他们所负责的 IP 的能力。这样做是为了在感染预防领域内推进和扩展职业阶段。此外，我们建议扩大当前职业专业人员感染控制和流行病学协会的感染预防专家能力模型，并探讨职业阶段以及专业实践自我评估和再认证的演变。作者认为，这种扩展将更好地满足当前和未来 IP 在职业发展和能力方面的需求。
