Candida Auris: What is it? Can we stop it? | ARC IPC

The Alabama Regional Center for Infection Prevention and Control Training and Technical Assistance presents Candida Auris: What is it? Can we stop it? Candida auris is an emerging, serious, drug-resistant fungal infection that is spreading worldwide. In this webinar, Mary Duncan, Senior Director of Infection Prevention at the University of Alabama-Birmingham Health System, and Dr. Rachael Lee, Associate Professor in the UAB Division of Infectious Diseases and UAB Health Epidemiologist, will discuss how Candida Auris was identified, how it is spread, and why we should be concerned. Dr. Lee and Mary will also identify what healthcare facilities can do to identify patients who may be infected/colonized with this fungus and prevent it from spreading within their facility.
