Jason Cota & William “Barry” Inman – Advanced Infectious Disease Pharmacology Course
In the new world where COVID-19 is taking center stage, having solid infectious disease pharmacology knowledge is essential for your patient care.
If you don’t know the core principles, how can you identify when something is new, different or strange? And missing a key finding in a patient can be the difference between a treated infection and sepsis.
Let two infectious disease experts sharpen your skills…
This carefully curated online course covers proper prescribing, patient education, and monitoring procedures for a variety of drug regimens used to treat common acute and chronic infectious diseases.
Jason and Barry not only teach the foundations of infectious disease pharmacology, but ground them in real-life experiences…
“Jason had a great mix of technical biochemical info and meds with the practical day-to-day use of this info.” — Karen M, NP
“Loved [Barry’s] incorporation of personal and work experience!” — Joy L, RN
PLUS, get special bonus content on COVID-19 vaccines and treatments!
This self-paced video training will give you the skills to:
- Confidently select the best empiric therapy before culture data is available
- Narrow antibiotic coverage at the right time like a seasoned pro
- Expertly reduce bacterial resistance — your colleagues will think you wrote the IDSA guidelines!
- Interpret culture and sensitivity results to select the most narrow and targeted antibiotic therapy
- Earn up to 16.25 CE hours – INCLUDING up to 7.3 pharmacology CE hours
- … And so much more!
Here’s what you’ll cover in this state-of-the-art online training course:
