CME: 25.75 AMA PRA category 1 credits). The University of Utah School of Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
OVERVIEW: This 25.75 hour review and update in the areas of clinical immunology, microbiology, and infectious diseases is intended to improve knowledge about the pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of infectious diseases, immunological mechanisms of disease and disease prevention, appropriate approaches to the diagnosis of infections and immunologic disorders, and utilization of the clinical microbiology and immunology laboratory including selection and interpretation of results.
This course will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas dealing with microbial infections as well as immunity to infectious diseases and immunologic disorders. Faculty consists of clinicians involved in patient care, pathologists, and clinical laboratory scientists. Discussion of timely topics by faculty and participants assures that this course will be informative, interesting, and relevant.
On completion of the course, attendees should be able to:
- Identify new emerging pathogens, infectious syndromes, and immunologic diseases including clinical presentations
- Critically analyze current practice and laboratory procedures in diagnosing infectious and immunologic disorders as well as result reporting
- Update the current knowledge of the epidemiology and mechanisms of transmission of infectious disorders
- Assess new therapeutic modalities, which are being developed or utilized in treating infectious and immunologic diseases
- Discuss genetics and molecular diagnosis of immunodeficiencies
