FEATURED Medical education topic: Emerging Infectious Diseases

Recent outbreaks of COVID-19, Mpox and Avian Influenza have highlighted the inadequacies of preparedness and education of newer and emerging infectious diseases/pathogens. It is imperative that healthcare professionals be able to differentiate between emerging infectious disease clinical presentations, consider the challenges presented by multi-drug-resistant bacteria, and be capable of managing the infections resulting from these new, emerging infectious diseases. 

Proposed Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this activity, the learners will be able to:

• Identify new, emerging pathogens
• Differentiate clinical presentations of various emerging infectious diseases
• Navigate the challenges posed by emerging multi-drug-resistant bacteria when developing a treatment plan
• Manage infections due to emerging pathogens
• Consider and navigate the psycho-social impacts of contracting a new/emerging infectious disease

If your medical staff needs an update on emerging infectious diseases, consider contacting our office to book a speaker at 877-505-4777 or info@speakersnetwork.com.
