About APIC-DFW
The Dallas / Ft Worth chapter of the Association of Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc. was established in 1976.  Our chapter was one of the first five established in the United States.  2005 was our 30th anniversary, and we'll celebrate the occasion in May 2007. We are proud of our past heritage and accomplishments and excited about what the future holds. DFWAPIC is a great place for professional growth and networking.  We hold monthly educational and business meetings as well as a day-long educational conference every fall.  If you have any questions about membership in our group please contact our Membership Director, Nancy Viamonte.
