Module 02
Infectious Diseases
Advanced infectious-disease practice, from principles to resistant organisms. Antimicrobial therapy, stewardship and case-based decision-making — fungal infections, resistant organisms, sepsis and the toughest ID scenarios.
Outcomes
What you'll be able to do
Build antimicrobial regimens with confidence
Select, time and de-escalate therapy across the major infection syndromes.
Master fungal & resistant infections
Mucormycosis, aspergillosis, candidemia, ESBL/AmpC/CRE and CR-Acinetobacter.
Apply stewardship at the bedside
Optimize use, interpret microbiology and make stewardship-driven decisions.
