Course Description
Infectious disease remains a dynamic and fascinating field replete with new challenges facing outpatient primary care providers and hospital medicine practitioners alike. This program is designed to explore major infectious diseases topics of particular relevance.
This online course on advanced topics in infectious diseases is designed to supply primary care providers, residents, infectious disease specialists, hospitalists, and advanced practice providers with a thorough understanding of various infectious diseases commonly encountered in inpatient and outpatient settings. Through five comprehensive online modules, healthcare professionals will develop the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively address, manage, and prevent infectious diseases, while promoting optimal patient outcomes. The program will cover a range of topics, including common inpatient consultations ranging from prosthetic joint infections and osteomyelitis to endocarditis and bloodstream infections. Modules included in depth didactics on the diagnosis and management of transplant and oncology related infectious diseases including invasive fungal infections, herpesviruses, and other opportunistic infections in the immunosuppressed host. We comprehensively review new IDSA guidelines related to antimicrobial resistance and management of DTR-Pseudomonas, ESBL-producing organisms, KPC and NDM producing organisms, and other common pathogens including Stenotrophomonas and Acinetobacter.
Who Should Enroll
This activity is intended for physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, advanced practice providers, and allied health professionals in the fields of emergency medicine, family practice, infectious diseases, internal medicine, and public health.
Objectives
After participating in this activity, the learner will demonstrate the ability to:
- Recall the diagnosis and management of multi-drug resistant organisms.
- Explain common infections associated with transplantation or malignancy, including common pathogens, diagnosis, and management strategies.
- Express comprehensive knowledge of common inpatient infectious diseases consultations including endocarditis, staph aureus bacteremia, osteomyelitis and joint infections, abdominal infections, and CNS infections.
- Describe the evaluation and management of invasive fungal infections, herpesviruses, and other opportunistic infections associated with immunosuppressed hosts.
