This course is designed specifically for physicians planning to take the Infectious Disease Subspecialty Examination of the American Board of Internal Medicine. This course is also suitable for physicians planning to take Infectious Disease subsections of other board examinations. This comprehensive course will cover clinical aspects of diseases likely to be encountered by infectious disease specialists in internal medicine, including clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, epidemiology, host defense mechanisms, and antimicrobial pharmacology. Viruses, parasites, bacteria, mycobacteria, fungi, Chlamydia, and Rickettsia will be covered. Diagnosis and treatment of HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases; diseases of travelers, immunocompromised patients, critical care patients, and organ transplant recipients; surgical consultations; and interpretation of microbiology laboratory results will be discussed. After completing the course, attendees will be more confident of their ability to perform well on the upcoming Infectious Disease Subspecialty Examination and will have improved their clinical skills.
