In her appearance as a guest on the 5 Second Rule podcast, hosted by the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC), Carole discussed her international experience and how it drove her focus on providing infection control expertise to underserved areas. During the pandemic, she observed the pressing need for support in facilities lacking resources or adequate training, often with just one overwhelmed infection preventionist on staff. Her public health background has honed her system thinking and critical analysis skills, making quality improvement her strong point in infection control. When assisting overwhelmed facilities, Carole conducts thorough risk assessments to pinpoint key gaps and helps them reprioritize urgent issues. Collaborating closely with staff, she guides them through tailored strategies for improvement, resulting in 'aha' moments and expressions of gratitude that validate her impactful contributions to healthcare. Through Dumontel Healthcare, she extends her reach to the community, educating young students and teachers on proper handwashing techniques, instilling a culture of hygiene from an early age. These initiatives reflect Carole's dedication to making tangible and lasting improvements in infection prevention and control, empowering both healthcare facilities and communities alike.
