SRACA Vic cordially invites you to join us for ‘An Evening with Dr Michelle Alfa’

Whilst in Australia to present at AGW in Brisbane on Monday & Wednesday, Dr Michelle Alfa is coming to Melbourne to present for SRACA Vic at St Vincent’s Hospital Fitzroy on Thursday, 1st October before returning to Canada.

Dr. Michelle J. Alfa is a professor in the Department of Medical Microbiology at the University of Manitoba. In addition, she is a Principal Investigator at the St. Boniface Research Centre. She has worked for the past 25 years as a Ph.D. certified Clinical Microbiologist involved with diagnostic microbiology, teaching, and research in the area of hospital-acquired infections.

Her primary area of research is related to improving reprocessing of complex medical devices to reduce the risk of infection transmission. Monitoring cleaning of endoscope channels and other difficult to clean medical devices has been a key focus. This provides a way to detect improperly cleaned devices and ensure they are re-cleaned prior to being disinfected or sterilized.

Dr. Alfa has over 150 publications, has received the Distinguished Microbiologist award from Canadian College of Microbiologists, and the Research Innovation award from the University of Manitoba.
