Infection prevention and control, or IPC, is the practical part of epidemiology that centres on preventing or curtailing an infection outbreak. If a disease is airborne, IPC shows what measures to take so others don’t breathe it in. What can be implemented to keep people safe if it is spread by contact or droplets? It is vital to any healthcare setting, from a dentist’s office to a disaster zone.

The more academic side is connected to studying new infections and improving ways their spread can be prevented in the first place or controlled so as not to spread further.

Almost anything connected to animal or human health requires high levels of IPC (infection prevention and control). The 2020 outbreak of the coronavirus, resulting in a global pandemic, showed just how important IPC is, especially for students of:
