Clorox Healthcare is providing scholarships for five infection preventionists in underserved communities to attend the APIC 2020 Annual Conference.

The scholarships are open to IPs working within the U.S., both in communities with a low number of providers or a higher-than-usual elderly population, or in regions hit by natural disasters. Interested candidates must apply online by Feb. 14.

Clorox Healthcare partnered with APIC, the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, in recognition of the increasing threat of antibiotic resistance. The company has been an APIC strategic partner for more than a decade.

Clorox Healthcare supports the education of professionals in infection control by providing CE credits through free online classes and educational tools including videos, blog posts and an online resource center.

Applicants for the conference travel grants must be APIC members attending their first APIC annual conference. Awardees will receive travel reimbursement, hotel, registration and onsite recognition.

The 2020 conference is scheduled for June 10-12 in Phoenix, AZ.
