Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology members were invited to complete an online survey from spring 2023 to assess current and preferred approaches and tools for training health care personnel on IPC. Vendors, retirees, APIC staff, or those not working in health care or public health were excluded. In all, 2,432 IPs participated. IPs were more likely to report engaging in impromptu health care worker training (ie, just-in-time teaching and team huddles) versus planned educational activities (ie, learning modules, formal presentations, train-the-trainer, or simulation; Kruskal-Wallis = 288, P <.001). IPs' top preferred teaching methodologies included simulation or interactive activity, and their lowest preferred approach was independent learning modules. IPC training apps were frequently requested technology. IPs ranked simulation as their top preferred teaching method; however, simulation was one of the least frequently used approaches. IP education should include strategies for delivering effective impromptu training and how to develop and implement interactive simulation-based education. The expressed needs and preferences of IPs should be considered when developing IPC-related teaching and training tools. • An online survey was administered to all APIC members in spring 2023. Infection Preventionists identified their current and preferred training approaches. • IPs engage in impromptu health care worker training more than planned activities. • Simulation was a top preferred teaching method, but least frequently used approach. • IPs should be taught to deliver effective impromptu training. IPs want to receive and deliver interactive, simulation-based education. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
