Online courses, CME and MOOCs

ISHAM course on Diagnostic Medical Mycology. 12 modules plus an exam (with certificate). CHF75 (or CHF15 for ISHAM members)

Expert presentations on 'Evolving Strategies to Optimise Treatment of Patients with Invasive Mould Infections' and 'Invasive Mould Infections: The Case for Early Diagnosis' can be found here

Using Infection Control to Combat Antimicrobial Resistance (University of East Anglia, via FutureLearn)

Challenges in Antibiotic Resistance: Point Prevalence Surveys (BSAC, via FutureLearn)

Antimicrobial Stewardship: Managing Antibiotic Resistance (University of Dundee, via FutureLearn)

The New Antifungal Toolkit: The Pharmacopeia and Beyond is an Internet CME curriculum that will provide current information about new FDA-approved agents/formulations for the management of invasive fungal infections (IFIs) and evaluate the role of these newer options in strategies to optimize antifungal therapy. As such, the activity will move beyond the typical drug pharmacopeia to address dosing in special populations (eg, pediatrics, patients with renal insufficiency, specific host types), health economic data, as well as comparative effectiveness, where appropriate. The activity will also include a broader pharmacopeia of all FDA-approved agents for invasive mycoses as a useful point of comparison as well as a practice reference. Two updates cover additional FDA approvals and keep the learner up to date as research data for newer agents mature and clinical experience grow. More information

Free online learning opportunity (CME module): Fungal pulmonary infections: pulmonary aspergillosis in non-hematological patients.

Additionally, an online medical mycology course (no fee) is being run by Errol Reiss, PhD. Please sign up here then email Errol to confirm enrollment.
