On the first episode of Prevention Pod: An Infection Prevention Podcast, I sit down with self-described hand hygiene queen, a friend, and fellow infection preventionist Casey Semos.

We discuss her career and how she started in IP, what its like to be an IP with a non-nursing background, fomites, candles, COVID and much more.

Introducing Prevention Pod: An Infection Prevention Podcast! As an infection preventionist for over 7 years I have had so many fantastic mentors and this podcast is dedicated to honor them. Infection prevention is what I love to do and I am so lucky to be in this profession, this podcast is a love letter to infection prevention and the incredible professionals who have made this profession what it is. I wanted to document our rich history and record the stories from IPs Ive encountered.Also, our theme music was composed by Dan McIntosh, who is the husband of an IP Tanya McIntosh. Huge shoutout to Dan thank you for your artistry and your support. For our first episode, I sat down with Casey Semos who I met last year at our national conference. We hit it off and I knew I wanted her to be the first person I interviewed for this podcast. Thank you Casey for taking a leap of faith with me on this. Trailer dropping soon!
