IPAC Canada Essentials in Infection Prevention and Control Course

Sponsored by IPAC Canada. Online Course.

Applications now being accepted for the Regular Course and the Accelerated Course.

Admission to the Accelerated Program requires students to be actively working in an Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) role - or transitioning into an IPAC role. Because this is an accelerated version of the course, a signed letter of support from the student's employer is required (a downloadable template is available below). Applications are due by March 18, 2024. Students will be notified of their acceptance by March 24, 2024. Tuition fees for accepted students will be due by March 31, 2024. Course starts April 1, 2024.

Preference for admission into the Regular program will be given to novice IPAC practitioners with less than 2 years' experience. Applications will also be considered from others working in healthcare and/or exploring opportunities in infection prevention and control. Applications are due by July 14, 2024. Students will be notified of their acceptance by August 1, 2024. Tuition fees for accepted students will be due by August 15, 2024. Course starts September 9, 2024.
