Welcome back to Voice for Infection Prevention! I'm your host, Jacob Hutcherson, and today we’re diving into an inspiring conversation with Angel Mueller, a leader who has shaped Infection Prevention at both the hospital and system-wide levels.
Angel’s journey into Infection Prevention started with a strong background in microbiology and public health, but it wasn’t until an epidemiology course and internship experience that she discovered her true passion for the field. She began her career as the first non-nurse Infection Preventionist at her hospital, quickly expanding her role and taking on leadership responsibilities.
In this interview, Angel shares how she advocated for leadership opportunities in Infection Prevention, built a multi-hospital Infection Prevention program, and transitioned into a system-wide leadership role overseeing 17 hospitals, 375+ ambulatory clinics, and home care services. She also offers valuable advice on mentorship, career growth, and the importance of stepping outside your comfort zone in Infection Prevention.
If you’re interested in career advancement, leadership development, and the future of Infection Prevention, you won’t want to miss this conversation!
Let’s get started.
