Course Description

Infectious Diseases in Adults provides important updates and state-of-the-art approaches for the prevention, diagnosis and management of infectious diseases: common, challenging, rare and emerging. This highly rated course focuses on major clinical syndromes as well as management controversies. It features a range of case-based, interactive problem-solving sessions from master clinicians in the field. Workshop panels integrate clinicians from the many disciplines who collaborate in the care of our patients, including infectious disease pharmacists, microbiologists, radiologists and surgeons. We provide learners with basic principles while reviewing the ways in which new developments impact those principles. Topics with major impact on clinical practice are emphasized. This includes infections of national and international importance. This year, we will provide critical coverage of the evolving COVID-19 pandemic, while maintaining our focus on the other infectious diseases that persist or worsen during pandemics.

The course provides education that ensures attendees are current with recent developments in the prevention and management of infectious diseases. Preventive treatments, including vaccines and prophylaxis, are reviewed. Clinically relevant advanced diagnostic tests are presented. Newer antimicrobials for the important bacterial, fungal and viral infections are reviewed.
