On #IDPharmacistsDay, Project Firstline Mississippi would like to recognize the importance of ID pharmacists and the contributions they make to patient care. #JoinTheAMSFight
Every time we enter the patient zone, we can get dangerous germs on our hands and spread them to ourselves or to other patients. Keeping our hands clean is one of the most important ways to prevent the spread of infections.
