Infectious Disease Therapeutics
PROGRAM DETAILS
Infection is a leading cause of physician office visits and hospital
admissions and is also responsible for complicating and prolonging many hospital
stays. Managing infectious diseases is very complex because of antimicrobial
resistance. Most antibiotic therapy is "empiric" in nature; therefore it is
critical for health care professionals to understand common pathogens and
recognize the potential for resistance.
This one-day seminar will provide participants with the latest information on
some of the most common infectious diseases and their treatments. You will
examine the latest evidence regarding drug resistance, as well as national
guidelines and new drug information, in order to make better decisions about the
use of antimicrobial therapy. Participants will identify evidence-based
strategies for treating MRSA, VRE, Clostridium difficile, community-acquired
pneumonia and other common infections. You will also evaluate the role of
antiviral medications in the treatment and prevention of influenza. Attendees
will leave this seminar equipped with practical information to help achieve
better patient outcomes related to infectious disease.
