I think it’s so easy to forget the joy in our work, that there are things about our profession that initially drew us into the role to begin with.

I have to imagine folks in the CDI field feel the same way. I have to imagine you all started in the profession because diseases fascinated you and helping people made your soul light up. I have to also imagine that you sometimes forget not all CDI-related things need to be work.

I think that’s one of the main reasons people are hesitant to write for and submit to ACDIS. It just becomes another “to-do, work item” on their list. But it doesn’t have to be.
