April 30, 2024 | ECCMID, Publications, infectious disease, medical education
The ECCMID conference in Barcelona, Spain marked the start of Medscape’s publication season in Europe. With three posters being presented at the conference, Medscape shared highlights from the powerful impact of their education programs in HIV/AIDS and infectious diseases.
The posters were presented by some of Medscape’s highly-experienced Infectious disease strategists and specialists along with esteemed faculty members. These accomplished authors are part of a dedicated team that researches and analyzes the impact of Medscape programs throughout 30 specialties over the course of the year. Impact outcomes from programs are presented as peer-reviewed articles, abstracts, and posters such as these, to share their findings with the education community. In 2023, Medscape published 113 articles, abstracts and posters at major conferences and in journals around the world.
The three posters at ECCMID shared data on the significant increases in learners’ knowledge, competence, and confidence. Details on each poster are available below.
