MSN PROGRAM
INFECTION CONTROL
As part of our Clinical Nurse Specialist program, the Infection Control expert is prepared to respond to biological emergencies and concerns that threaten the welfare of a particular population, such as natural disasters and bio-terrorism. Nurses prepared in the specialty often have an intergral role in the team that develops the response strategy. It is the only program of its kind in the nation.
