Job analysis 1996: Infection control professional. Certification Board in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc, 1996 Job Analysis Committee.

The Certification Board in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc, directed its Test and Administrative Subcommittees to compose a Job Analysis Committee in 1995. This 16-member Job Analysis Committee, in collaboration with Applied Measurement Professionals, Inc, conducted a job analysis survey of infection control professionals in the United States and Canada during 1996. The reassessment of the previous Certification Board in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc, task analysis, formation of a job-analysis survey tool, the actual job-analysis process, and its results are described in this article. The previous and newly revised test specification outlines are compared. The Revised Certification Examination for Infection Control offered beginning in 1997 will reflect the efforts of this endeavor.
