I am an infection control nurse, and belong to ÁPIC. I am confused as to who is the target audience. The host sounds like she is purposely trying to be simple. I had expected a host who could add to the subject matter. But the host,, lovely lady, seems purposely remedial.
I thought this was going to be a great podcast to assist me in further understanding my specialty but this is definitely for the general public without any IC background.

Seems like the podcast is aimed at IPs but they spend time defining acronyms like PICC and MMR. Who is the audience? Also, I’d love it if they shared new/ innovative research and information.
