The Certified in Disease Intervention (CDI) certification program is now available to disease intervention (DI) professionals. A disease intervention professional is primarily a non-licensed public health professional with applied expertise in preventing the spread of infectious disease at the community level. They accomplish this by delivering a comprehensive set of person-centered services necessary to provide access to recommended testing, treatment, and prevention resources.
CDI Certification assesses the competence of disease intervention professionals, offering evidence of essential knowledge and a standardized benchmark for skills. Certification requires continuous professional development for maintenance.
