State-of-the-Art Approaches to Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Infectious Diseases

Harvard Infectious Diseases in Adults 2025 provides important updates and state-of-the-art approaches for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of infectious diseases: common, challenging, rare, and emerging. This highly rated course focuses on major clinical syndromes as well as management advances and controversies. It features a range of case-based, interactive problem-solving sessions from master clinicians in the field. Workshop panels bring together clinicians from the many disciplines who collaborate in the care of our patients. These include surgeons, radiologists, infectious disease pharmacists, pulmonologists, allergists, and microbiologists. This course is designed to provide learners with conceptual frameworks while reviewing the ways in which new developments impact those frameworks. Topics with major impact on clinical practice are emphasized, including infections of national and international importance and emerging infections. The 2025 program provides updates on vaccines, respiratory viral infections, the COVID-19 pandemic, mpox, and vector-borne diseases, and adds coverage on highly pathogenic avian influenza, Marburg virus, and critical care ID.

* Date of the original release: April 28 – May 2, 2025

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this course, participants will be better able to:

  • Utilize the latest strategies for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of important infectious disease syndromes in immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients
  • Describe updated guidelines on the treatment of infectious diseases
  • Summarize principles of judicious antimicrobial selection, dose, route, and duration to optimize patient outcomes while preventing resistance and lowering cost
  • Describe evidence-based treatments as well as new treatment paradigms for resistant organisms and difficult-to-treat infections
  • Learn to incorporate novel, rapid diagnostics into infectious disease practice
  • Select the optimal infection control approach for each patient and care setting
  • Better understand factors impacting care provided by non-infectious disease physicians in the care of persons with infections, including by surgeons, pharmacists, addiction specialists, radiologists, pulmonologists, and allergists
