conference
When: April 20-25, 2007
Where: Beverly Hills, CA, USA
The field of Infectious Diseases is pertinent to all Primary Care Physicians and is so quick to change in terms of bacterial evolution and new drug therapy, that there is hardly another specialty that has as great a need of constant review and update. Change is so rapid that annual updating is now mandatory for all PCP’s. The primary issues, which mandate this need for updates, are driven by the topics of resistance and new therapeutic regimens.
The overall objective is to provide the participant with practical and clinically relevant information. Upon completion of this CME activity, the physician or healthcare provider should be able to describe the current approach to formulating differential diagnoses, diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive management of the various disciplines presented.
