You've made the decision! You decided you are ready to sit for the Certification Exam for Infection Control (CIC)! Ok...So... now what? You pick up all three telephone-book-sized parts of the APIC TEXT and wonder if maybe there's a different way to study - other than reading all of these from cover to cover. WELL THERE IS! The truth is that there are essential parts of each of the chapters in the APIC TEXT. With a few additional materials, and some efficient ways of studying, it's not totally necessary to read everything. After a quick, colorful story of how the author failed the first attempt at the CIC exam, and then passed with flying colors, this short eBook goes over the methods that the author used to study - what did and did not work - and why. Also, bonus pages are included, such as tips for remembering types of bacteria, 10 BONUS Practice Questions, and checklists for studying as efficiently as possible. Additional resources are also listed, with links for reviewing them, if interested. Thank you for considering this short but useful eBook!
