SHEA is considered by educators, employers, and leaders in the field to be the gold standard for training in healthcare epidemiology and advancing the practice of infection prevention worldwide. The Society advances professional learning through its annual meeting, workshops, courses, symposia, and website-based learning.
In 2012, SHEA has several key educational options for people seeking the latest research, skill-building, and networking opportunities in infection prevention and healthcare epidemiology:
