Harvard Infectious Diseases In Adults 2024

Live Streaming • April 29 – May 3, 2024

State-of-the-Art Approaches to Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Infectious Diseases
Infectious Diseases in Adults will be held online this year, using live streaming technology and electronic and live question and answer sessions. 
OVERVIEW
This comprehensive CME program ensures attendees are current with state-of-the-art approaches to prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases. Updates, best practices, and new guidelines are presented by nationally recognized ID experts and master clinicians. Education is practical and results-driven:

Optimal decision-making in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases
Newer antimicrobials and treatment strategies for highly resistant infections
The latest on COVID-19, including long COVID
Prevention and treatment of infections in immunocompromised hosts
Update on antifungal diagnostics and therapy
State-of-the-art and multidisciplinary approaches to common infections
Clinical approaches to complex, rare, and “don’t-miss” infections
Infections in persons with substance use disorder
What’s new in HIV prevention and management
New, evolving, emerging, and re-emerging infectious diseases

As revised treatment strategies, new diagnostic tests, and guidelines are presented, they are coupled with specific recommendations for incorporating these updates into your day-to-day work.
Highlights of the 2024 Program
Expanded Case-Based and Problem-Solving Education 
The 2024 program features an expanded range of interactive, case-based, and problem-solving education. The formats are engaging, and attendees are encouraged to pose questions of our national experts in live question-and-answer sessions following the lectures and the workshops. Our speakers and panelists include not only ID experts, but those from fields such as surgery, radiology, cardiology, and addiction medicine, thereby providing a 360-degree context for the understanding of ID treatment and patient care. Our twelve multidisciplinary workshops include complicated urinary tract and intra-abdominal infections, native and prosthetic valve endocarditis, musculoskeletal infections, and nontuberculous mycobacterial infections.
Treating Highly Resistant Infections, including:

MRSA and VISA (vancomycin-intermediate Staph aureus)
Extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Gram-negative rods
Carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative rods, including NDM-1 metallo-beta-lactamase-producing organisms
Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE)
Aspergillus and non-aspergillus mold infections
Candida auris
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM)

Common Infectious Diseases: Updates in Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment
Updates to keep you current on new strategies, state-of-the-art practices, and the most recent guidelines to address:

Respiratory viral infections, including COVID-19
New and updated vaccines
Infections in the expanding populations of immunocompromised hosts
Infections in persons with substance use disorder
Infections of travelers and foreign-born persons
Systemic fungal infections
Native and device-related orthopedic infections
Central nervous system (CNS) infections
Ear, nose and throat (ENT) and eye infections
Bronchiectasis and pneumonia
HIV and its infectious and noninfectious complications
PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) and PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) to prevent HIV infection
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including mpox and PEP for prevention of STIs
Hepatitis B and C infections
Tick- and mosquito-borne infections
Clostridioides difficile infection
Complicated urinary tract infections
Intra-abdominal infections

Challenging, Rare, and Emerging Infectious Diseases
Comprehensive updates on:

Rare and emerging infectious diseases, including Rift Valley Fever
Re-emergence of vaccine-preventable diseases, including poliomyelitis
Pulmonary and extrapulmonary non-tuberculous (“atypical”) mycobacteria, including Mycobacterium abscessus
Global infectious diseases of clinical importance

Clinical Decision-Making
Hear directly from world-renowned specialists and master clinicians on their approach and decision-making criteria for:

Selecting the best antimicrobial and duration of treatment
Rapid detection and empiric treatment of life-threatening infectious diseases
Choosing between inpatient and outpatient treatment, and between intravenous and oral antimicrobials
Optimizing empiric antimicrobial therapy: what to start, and when to narrow or stop

Our multidisciplinary talks and workshops incorporate safety, quality, and practice improvement in infectious diseases, including:

Antimicrobial stewardship to prevent resistance and reduce cost
Infection control
Early inpatient ID consultations to improve outcomes
Strategies for management of infection in persons who inject drugs (PWID)
