Inappropriate antibiotic use in outpatient settings is a considerable public health problem. Antibiotic stewardship teams are increasingly being asked to develop and implement stewardship programs for their medical center or health system’s outpatient clinics. The approaches to outpatient stewardship need to be tailored to these settings, including data gathering, interventions, behavioral modifications, and education, and meet the added challenges of changes to outpatient healthcare delivery as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary objective of this didactic and active learning workshop is to give attendees effective tools that can be used to expand the world of stewardship into the outpatient arena.

The drive for the optimal guideline grading/rating of evidence framework has driven the emergence of the Grading of Recommendation Assessment, Development and Evaluation framework (GRADE). GRADE application in the production of clinical practice guidelines can result in trustworthy guideline recommendations, and as such it is imperative that persons who play a role in guideline panels have some training and orientation in the guideline development process itself, as well as an acute focus on the underpinnings of GRADE. This 4-hour workshop offers such training and orientation to attendees and particularly for those who plan to serve on guideline panels in the future.

Development of effective infectious diseases health professions education curricula is critical to the success of our field of infectious diseases. Well-designed curricula allow the creator to remain focused on curricula goals, explore best teaching and assessment methods, and develop meaningful evaluation to determine if the intervention is successful. Well-designed and taught curricula in microbiology and infectious diseases also help recruit the best and brightest to the field. This workshop will provide attendees the opportunity to learn the core competencies for an ID Health Professions Educator and the significance of curriculum development in that role; describe the components of the Kern Model for Curriculum Design in Health Professions Education; and apply the Kern Model for Curriculum Design to the development of a health professions education project at your own institution.
The IDWeek 2021 Fellows Day Workshop will take place on our virtual platform on Sept. 28. The Case Presentations will be from 11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. ET and the Career Breakout Sessions will take place from 3 – 5 p.m. ET. Registered attendees will receive links to the workshop prior to Sept. 28.

Have a great idea for session next year? Know a fabulous speaker? We want to hear your ideas! Submit a Session Suggestion for IDWeek 2022. You’ll be asked to provide potential learning objectives, possible speaker ideas, and presentation topics. All suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
Because there is a finite limit to how many sessions we can have at IDWeek, the selection process is very competitive. The program committee reserves the right to reject, alter and/or combine suggestions where applicable. IDWeek’s goal is to present cutting-edge science, cover a wide variety of infectious disease topics and provide a forum for scientific discovery and exchange. To better foster inclusion and opportunity at IDWeek, we strive for gender, geographic, practice and ethnic diversity in IDWeek sessions and submissions which achieve these goals have a better chance of being selected. Topics and speakers who have recently presented at IDWeek may not be accepted in a subsequent year to allow for other topics and speakers to participate.
The identity of the session submitter is blinded to the program committee until after the sessions are finalized. Due to the sheer volume, we are unable to provide feedback rationale for accepting, rejecting, or combining submitted sessions. However, accepted sessions will be included on the IDWeek website when finalized and published including any subsequent updates. If the title, topics, speakers, and moderators in a suggested session are accepted with minimal or no changes, the session submitter’s contributions will be acknowledged on the IDWeek website.
As part of IDWeek’s efforts to comport with ACCME policies, one member of the IDWeek Program Committee will serve as a moderator of each session. This moderator will have final authority over the direction and content of session in collaboration with the speakers and will also attest to the session’s balance and scientific objectivity.

CME Accreditation Statement for Physicians
IDSA is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
CPE Accreditation Statement for Pharmacists
The continuing education activity for pharmacists has been developed by the Infectious Diseases Society of America. IDSA is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education as a provider of continuing pharmacy education. The registration fee covers the cost of CE credits. CE Statements of Completion will be issued by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) at the conclusion of the conference. Participants must complete an evaluation for each session they attended to receive pharmacy CE credit. The deadline for completing the evaluations for the live CE sessions is Dec. 22. IDWeek CPE credits will be transferred to NABP CPE Monitor and visible in accounts within 48 hours, through Dec. 22 for live CE sessions and for on-demand sessions through April 22, 2023.
Successful completion of this CME activity enables the participant to earn up to 200.25 MOC points in the American Board of Internal Medicine’s (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program. Participants will earn MOC points equivalent to the amount of CME credits claimed for the activity. It is the CME activity provider’s responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM MOC credit.
IDWeek 2021 physician participation information will be shared with ABIM through ACCME PARS.
