Hospital Epidemiology and Infection Prevention
Hospital epidemiology and infection prevention research at Wake Forest, including predictive models for healthcare-associated infections and interventions to prevent them.
As an academic learning health system, we are committed to improving the health of our patients and communities through research, education, and practice.
Our hospital epidemiology and infection prevention program is dedicated to this mission.
Some of our key research activities include:
