This workshop dives into Diagnostic Stewardship—mapping the diagnostic pathway, pinpointing high-impact intervention points, and sharing practical strategies to improve diagnosis. You’ll get up to speed on next-generation tools shaping the field, from emerging biomarkers to advanced diagnostics and modern multiplex testing. Through a lively biomarkers pro/con debate, a “behind-the-scenes” lab session, and an expert panel on cutting-edge topics (fungal stewardship, Karius testing, and multiplex panel testing), we’ll spotlight what’s new, what’s controversial, and what’s ready for implementation. A Q&A session will allow you to ask the experts your burning diagnostic stewardship questions! Finally, we’ll close with a forward-looking session on AI & diagnostic stewardship. Attendees will leave with a clear playbook for building a multidisciplinary program that engages every healthcare worker involved in, and impacted by, the diagnostic process."

This workshop is an introduction to wound care for the infectious diseases’ clinician.  We will discuss the diagnosis, workup, and management of typical wounds encountered in practice, including diabetic foot ulcers, venous stasis ulcers, decubiti, and a special section on unusual wounds such as pyoderma gangrenosum and calciphylaxis. The participant will have a chance to “put it all together” with our interactive cases. We will also answer questions about how to incorporate wound care into your practice. Towards the end, we will have hands-on demonstrations of off-loading devices, compression devices, dressings, simulated wound debridement, and negative pressure wound therapy
