The Infection Control Department located within the University of Missouri's hospital system works with public health departments to ensure that the infections that pose a risk to the public are properly addressed. My role within this internship included entering in surgical codes into a database that kept track of any new surgical site infections. I also rounded the floors of the hospital to keep track of patients who were in isolation and that the correct PPE equipment was provided before entering the room, and the correct warning labels were present on the room door.
