Course Description
Infectious diseases remains a dynamic and fascinating field replete with new challenges facing outpatient primary care providers and hospital medicine practitioners alike. The symposium will connect advances in infectious diseases research with clinical practice and public health, supporting evidence-based care, interdisciplinary collaboration, and preparedness for emerging challenges.
Who Should Attend
This activity is intended for physicians, hospitalists, 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 attending this activity, the learner will demonstrate the ability to:
- Optimize antimicrobial treatment by integrating advances in antibacterial, antifungal, and antimycobacterial therapies, antimicrobial resistance, and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic principles.
- Evaluate and apply advances in infectious diseases diagnostics, including rapid resistance detection, molecular microbiology, to guide timely diagnosis and targeted management.
- Develop individualized management strategies for complex infections and vulnerable populations, including people with HIV, chronic hepatitis B, prosthetic joint infections, immunodeficiency, transplantation or cellular therapies, and people who inject drugs.
- Integrate emerging evidence into the prevention and management of tuberculosis, nontuberculous mycobacterial disease, and sexually transmitted infections, with attention to evolving treatments, disease detection, and transmission.
- Assess emerging tools and strategies for addressing infectious diseases challenges, including epidemic preparedness, modeling, artificial intelligence, and approaches to vaccine hesitancy and public trust.
