Education

In the fast-paced ER environment, timely and precise infection control and antimicrobial decisions are crucial. This immersive module, designed for ER professionals - including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and infection control teams - will empower you with the best practices for patient safety, screening, isolation, and antimicrobial selection. Our simulation-based approach ensures you’re prepared to apply these skills in real-time, high-stakes settings.

This course is part of the ESCMID EUCIC Certificate Programme.

Join us to explore the global impact of climate change and mobility on infectious disease management.
