AJIC (American Journal of Infection Control) is the official journal of the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc. (APIC). It is not necessary to be a member of APIC to subscribe and benefit from this expertise. AJIC covers key topics and issues in infection control and epidemiology. AJIC is a recognized, reliable source for peer-reviewed articles on infection control, epidemiology, infectious diseases, quality management, occupational health, and disease prevention. Infection control professionals, including physicians, nurses, and epidemiologists, rely on AJIC for peer-reviewed articles covering clinical topics as well as original research. The Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc. (APIC) is a multi-disciplinary voluntary international organization with over 10,000 members. Its purpose is to influence, support and improve the quality of healthcare through the practice and management of infection control and the application of epidemiology in all health settings. The organization, which is based in Washington, DC, is led by an elected board of members who volunteer their time and expertise. The Association for Practitioners in Infection Control (APIC) was conceived in 1972 out of recognition of the need for an organized, systematic approach to the "control" of infections acquired as a result of hospitalization.1 The name was changed to the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc. (APIC), in 1994 to recognize the organization's maturation and evolution into the broader context of healthcare delivery in this country, which includes the study of non-infectious adverse outcomes and the movement of care outside the traditional healthcare system, specifically the hospital. AJIC is included in Index Medicus and AJIC is recommended for purchase in Brandon-Hill's Selected List of Nursing Books and Journals. AJIC also publishes infection control guidelines from APIC and the CDC.
