What Greater Los Angeles APIC does

Greater Los Angeles APIC is a local chapter of the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit professional association founded in 1973 and headquartered at 1400 Crystal Drive, Suite 900, Arlington, Virginia. The national organization serves more than 15,000 infection preventionists (IPs) across 113 local chapters, providing education, certification preparation, peer networking, and advocacy to reduce healthcare-associated infections. Its core product surface centers on APIC Connect, a Higher Logic-powered online community platform hosting discussion forums, member directories, specialty sections, and library resources, supplemented by content products including APIC Text (an IPC reference authored by 200+ subject matter experts), APIC PolicyPro (a subscription policy-management platform), and the APIC Staffing Calculator. Educational offerings include certification preparation for the CIC, a-IPC, and LTC-CIP credentials administered through affiliated CBIC, plus microcredentials, webinars, and the annual APIC Conference.

The business model is multi-stream nonprofit revenue: individual membership dues at $25-$305 per year tiered by category, organizational memberships with tiered group pricing, paid education courses ($79 dental workshops to $1,975 CIC prep in Boston), publications (APIC Text, toolkits, guides), conference registration and exhibitor fees, and adjacent revenue from APIC Consulting Services. Customer segments span practicing infection preventionists (primary), healthcare organizations enrolling multiple professionals, students in healthcare programs, and industry vendors/consultants. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven — anchored on the APIC Connect platform, 113 local chapters, the annual conference, and chapter-level events (e.g., OSWAPIC conferences). Distribution runs through self-serve online channels (APIC Connect, APIC Store, APIC LMS Elevate) plus direct sales for enterprise training and conference sponsorships.

Broad incumbents

• International Federation of Infection Control (IFIC): Global federation of infection control societies partnering with APIC and CBIC. Provides international member networking, conferences, and education, representing the global peer tier that APIC chapters operate alongside.
• Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA): Major professional society for infectious diseases physicians and researchers with overlapping interest in infection control, antimicrobial stewardship, and healthcare-associated infection reduction. Provides competing continuing education, guidelines, and certification-adjacent programming.
• Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA): A larger national professional society serving healthcare epidemiologists and infection preventionists, with overlapping membership, guidelines, training (e.g., SHEA/CDC training courses), and advocacy missions. SHEA competes for member attention and conference attendance in the same infection prevention category.
• APIC (national) - Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology: The national parent association of which the Greater Los Angeles chapter is a sub-unit. APIC operates the APIC Connect platform, APIC Text, APIC PolicyPro, education programs, and the annual conference; the Greater LA chapter inherits all of these products and the brand while providing local chapter-level engagement.

Direct peers

• OSWAPIC (Oregon/Southwest Washington APIC Chapter): A peer APIC local chapter referenced in the source data with similar structure, hosting an annual chapter conference (OSWAPIC24 in Vancouver, WA). Operates as a regional chapter with comparable member engagement, education programming, and chapter-level dynamics.
• IPAC Canada (Infection Prevention and Control Canada): Canadian sister organization partnering with APIC and CBIC on the EIPAC framework. Operates as a parallel national membership association with chapters, certification support, and continuing education for infection prevention professionals, sharing structural similarity with the Greater LA chapter.
• Association for Professionals in Infection Control - other regional chapters (e.g., MEMCHAP/Inland-Northwest): Other APIC local chapters operating the same chapter model with member dues, monthly meetings, educational presentations, and vendor spotlights. Direct chapter-level peers operating under the same APIC brand with comparable scope and member dynamics.

Emerging players

• CBIC - Certification Board of Infection Control and Epidemiology: Affiliated certification body that administers CIC, a-IPC, and LTC-CIP certifications. As a closely affiliated nonprofit, CBIC provides the credentialing infrastructure that creates structural demand for APIC chapter-led certification preparation courses and continuing education.
• APIC Consulting Services: Affiliated consulting arm of APIC providing paid professional infection prevention consulting services to healthcare facilities. Operates as an adjacent revenue-generating entity under the APIC umbrella that competes for similar institutional buyers in the LA market.

Others

• American Nurses Association (ANA): A larger professional nursing membership association with comparable structural model: state chapters, certification, continuing education, advocacy, and member dues. Functionally analogous as a membership-association peer, though serving nurses broadly rather than infection prevention specialists specifically.
