with Dr. John Fisher from the Medical College of Georgia, Augusta University

Infectious diseases remain a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Between navigating the tests for detecting different infections and dealing with the rise of multiresistant superbugs, it is a challenging field to master.

This course covers the most important infectious diseases affecting each body system, from common infections like influenza and UTIs to complex complications like infected central lines. Experienced educator Dr. John Fisher guides you through the epidemiology, etiology, management, and prevention of each disease. His real-world experience in combination with high-quality animations and illustrations will help you grasp the mechanisms of transmission and the signs and clinical courses of different infections.

You will also learn how to carefully determine if antibiotic therapy is indicated to not exacerbate antimicrobial resistance. Recall quizzes after each video, downloadable study materials, and a USMLE-style Qbank support your learning by boosting retention and understanding.

By the end of this course, you will have a comprehensive understanding of the major infectious diseases, be confident in the diagnosis and management of infections, and be well prepared to apply treatment protocols and infection control measures in patient care.

“I want to help you help your future patients.”

What is the most common infectious disease worldwide?

The common cold is the most common infectious disease worldwide. Other common diseases include: influenza, tuberculosis, malaria, HIV/AIDS, dengue fever, hepatitis B and C, and gastroenteritis.

How does infection happen in the body?

Infection is the process by which microorganisms enter the body, multiply, and cause a response from the host’s immune system. Bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites may enter the body through various ways, e.g. the skin, be breathed in, or digested. They multiply staying localized or spreading throughout the body, prompting the immune system to respond with inflammation, fever, or other mechanisms.

What are nosocomial infections?

Nosocomial infections are infections contracted in a healthcare facility (not present at admission). Common examples include MRSA and Clostridioides difficile. Infections especially with multiresistant microorganisms are an increasingly serious issue worldwide and prevention through evolving hygiene protocols is critical in all medical specialties.
