Achieving Success and Scholarship as an Infectious Diseases Health Professions Educator Through Curriculum Development
Wednesday, October 21, 8 a.m. – Noon
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.

Extending Antibiotic Stewardship into Outpatient Settings
Wednesday, October 21, 8 a.m. – Noon
Inappropriate antibiotic use in the outpatient sector 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. Many techniques of outpatient stewardship are different from those of the inpatient realm including data gathering, interventions, behavioral modifications and education. 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.

How to Use EBM/GRADE to Develop Guidelines
Wednesday, October 21, 8 a.m. – Noon
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.
