2025 IP Boot Camp Rewind The 2025 Infection Prevention Boot Camp was our biggest and most successful event yet! Building on the proven format from the 2024 sessions, the Boot Camp featured one virtual didactic day followed by two in-person simulation days at two specially selected locations—Owensboro and Versailles, Kentucky. Feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive. Learners left feeling empowered, equipped with practical skills and ready to implement changes in their facilities. As always, Boot Camp is completely free, offers continuing education credits, and fosters a safe learning environment where making mistakes leads to risk recognition, behavior change, and improved safety for both healthcare workers and patients. Scroll on to view pictures, topics, and videos from the 2025 IP Boot Camp.  Click here to learn more about upcoming Boot Camps!
