    About CBIC

    The Certification Board of Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc. (CBIC) is a voluntary autonomous
    multidisciplinary board that provides direction for and administers the certification process for professionals in
    infection control and applied epidemiology. CBIC is independent and separate from any other infection control-
    related organization or association.

    CBIC endorses the concept of voluntary, periodic certification for all infection control professionals meeting
    educational and practice requirements.

    The purpose of the certification process is to protect the public by:

    1. Providing standardized measurement of current basic knowledge needed for persons practicing infection
    control.

    2. Encouraging individual growth and study, thereby promoting professionalism among infection control
    professionals.

    3. Formally recognizing infection control professionals who fulfill the requirements for certification.

    Certification represents the commitment of an infection prevention and control professional and an institution to
    the continued improvement of infection prevention and control functions and their contribution to healthcare and
    patient safety. The mission of CBIC is to protect the public through the development, administration, and
    promotion of an accredited certification in infection prevention and control.

    How to Become Certified

    In order to qualify to sit for initial (first-time) certification, or if certification has lapsed and renewal of certification
    is desired, a candidate must apply to take the proctored initial certification examination. The initial examination is
    administered via computer-based testing at Prometric testing centers worldwide. Before applying to take the
    examination, candidates should check to see if they meet the CBIC eligibility requirements. A complete listing of
    these eligibility requirements, as well as both paper and online examination applications, can be found on the CBIC
    website at www.cbic.org.

    To be complete, an examination application must include proof of a minimum of a two-year degree from an
    accredited educational institution, a completed CBIC attestation statement form that has been completed, signed
    and dated by the candidate’s supervisor, an updated resume, a signed official job description and the application
    fee.

    Certificants who are in the fifth year of their certification and are due to recertify may apply to take the online
    recertification examination. The online recertification examination is geared towards the advanced practitioner
    and is a self-paced examination that examinees access via a secure website administered by Prometric.

    CBIC encourages interested candidates to visit the CBIC website for more information. Questions or concerns
    should be directed to the CBIC executive office at 414.918.9796 or [email protected].
