The Certification Board of Infection Control, Inc

The Certification Board of Infection Control, Inc. (CBIC), was created in 1981 by the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc, for the sole purpose of developing and administering an examination by which competent infection control professionals could become certified. This independent, voluntary board is multidisciplinary, representing all levels of professionals in the field of infection control, as well as a consumer member. CBIC certification is the only recognized certification for infection control professionals. Since the first examination was administered in 1983, over 3,000 persons have attained infection control certification (CIC) status and are permitted to use the CIC credential.
