ACDIS update: CDI events near and far pick up steam in 2019

Well, the year is speeding along and none of us here at ACDIS can believe it’s already the third week of 2019. While the beginning of the year spells software updates, departmental meetings, and annual reviews, there are also a number of ACDIS local chapter and national events coming up to help you connect with your peers outside the office.

Whether it’s a webinar or a local chapter event, we hope you’ll join us for the fun.
