Program Description:
Health care associated infections (HCAIs) are of special importance due to the mortality, morbidity, increased costs, increased hospitalization days and incidence of microbial resistance. Due to the increased invasive diagnostic-therapeutic procedures, increased life span and chronic underlying diseases, the need for extended hospitalization has increased, which in turn would lead to higher incidence of infections. Since the health care team is responsible for saving lives, secure and safe service provision at lower cost and in less time, the control and prevention of HCAIs has gained a high priority in the world and Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) as well. The incidence of HCAIs is one of the main indicators of hospital evaluation. Due to the great advances in various medical fields in IRI, during recent decades, the need was felt for training the skilled competent human physicians for prevention and control of HCAIs more than ever. Therefore, after approving the need to establish the course in 2008, a committee of experts in the field was established to develop a national curriculum in 2009, which resulted in the present curriculum after the meetings. The committee welcomes the experts' valuable comments for revision of the curriculum.
