Prof. Victor D. Rosenthal, MD, PhD, is the Editor-in-Chief of the Infusion Therapy Standards of Practice. He specializes in internal medicine and infectious diseases and holds a PhD in epidemiology. He is an Associate Professor at the University of Miami and the Founder and chief scientific officer of the International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium, where he leads 2,500 researchers in 45 low—and middle-income countries (LMICs) in Latin America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe.

He has authored 425 scientific publications, including peer-reviewed articles, conference proceedings, standards of practice, and book chapters. He is cited over 29,000 times in PubMed-indexed literature and has an H-index of 73. He has received 10 major international awards, including honors from APIC and SHEA. His editorial contributions include serving as editor-in-chief, editorial board member, and reviewer for several peer-reviewed journals and standards and recommendations issued by organizations such as WHO, JCI, ISID, and several MoHs worldwide.

Dr. Rosenthal was among the first to study BSIs in LMICs. He developed the INICC Surveillance Online System, a tool he made freely available to support the surveillance and prevention of BSIs. For 37 years, Dr. Rosenthal has dedicated his career to educating healthcare workers in LMICs and advancing BSI prevention. His mission is driven by a clear and powerful goal: improving patient outcomes and reducing vascular access device-related complications and associated mortality in resource-limited settings.
