Medscape are powering education and disease state awareness in infectious diseases at #IDWeek 2023

From October 11-15, the Medscape Education team will be traveling to Boston, MA for the annual IDWeek meeting.
During this year’s hybrid conference, Medscape will be hosting six symposia, and presenting the outcomes of education programs from recent years during five poster presentations.
The six symposia being presented will cover topics such as diagnostics for bloodstream infections, COVID-19 best practices and COVID-19 vaccination, influenza, RSV, and cytomegalovirus. Attendees of the symposia will have the opportunity to earn CME credits by logging in to their Medscape account.
“There’s always so much changing and evolving in the world of infectious disease, and Medscape is looking forward to being a part of this year’s IDWeek. We’re bringing along the latest data and hot-button topics in a variety of therapeutic areas to help ensure clinicians are prepared for the coming year and viral respiratory seasons. By keeping HCPs current, we can help both clinicians and patients achieve better outcomes.” – Arun Nair, Associate Director, Clinical Strategy
