Final Frontier: IPC Challenges in Rural Health Care

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Michael Stevens, a Professor of Internal Medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases and West Virginia University Health System’s System Healthcare Epidemiologist. Studies looking at rural hospitals note unique challenges: health care staff shortages, relative geographic isolation and difficulty in accessing mentoring in IPC and disconnects between local needs and upper-level mandates. Listen as Dr. Stevens addresses these challenges and celebrates the resiliency of infection prevention in rural facilities.
