Education

This onsite workshop offers a highly interactive learning experience designed to equip healthcare professionals with the practical skills to implement successful behaviour change interventions. Through collaborative group discussions and case-based exercises, delegates will develop targeted strategies to reduce hospital-acquired infections and mitigate antimicrobial resistance.

This course is part of the ESCMID EUCIC Certificate Programme.

Antimicrobial resistance is a growing global crisis, especially in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) where limited resources and unique challenges make the fight even more urgent. This course will equip delegates with the knowledge and practical skills to adapt AMS strategies to these specific settings. Learn from real-world examples, explore innovative solutions, and become a key player in global health efforts to combat AMR.

This course is part of the ESCMID AMS Certificate Programme.

Congress & Events

Participants can expect to develop a fundamental understanding of machine learning and data science as well as the “end-to-end” lifecycle of a machine learning solution through a hands-on practical experience. No prior background in data science and machine learning is assumed and the workshop is suitable for beginners.

65 spots available, so hurry up to secure yours!

Guidelines & Journals

The market of predatory publishing is as lucrative as it is unethical. Predatory journals are disguised as legitimate entities, and prey on both early-career academics and the naïve. In this episode, hosts Angela Huttner and Marc Bonten are joined by Editors-in-chief Ursula Hofer (Lancet Infect Dis) and Leonard Leibovici (CMI) to discuss the various schemes of the “Wild West” of publishing, and how to avoid them.
