How to become an infection control coordinator?

The qualifications needed for a career as an infection control coordinator include a bachelor’s degree in nursing, or a health science degree with a focus on epidemiology or public health. If you go the nursing route, you need to pass the NCLEX-RN exam to become a registered nurse (RN), which is a requirement in all 50 states. However, not all infection control coordinators have nursing duties. You need to develop your skills with at least two years of experience dealing with contagious diseases and their spread.
