PPR 6025 Applying Infectious Disease Principles to the Acute Care Patient
Lecture: 2 Lab: 1 Practica: 0 Total Credits: 3
This course will allow the student to apply the principles of antimicrobial therapy, antibiotic stewardship, and drug information skills previously taught in the Doctor of Pharmacy curriculum. The student will complete an in-depth study of the properties of anti-infective agents, including antibiotics, antivirals, and antifungals; and apply this information to patient scenarios that will allow the student to practice guideline and literature-based treatment of complex infections in the acute care patient. Principles of antimicrobial stewardship will be reinforced so that the student will be able to determine appropriate empiric therapy of commonly seen infectious disease syndromes in the acute care patient. This course will also emphasize evidence-based medicine including interpretation of guidelines and primary literature to help determine the best anti-infective course for an acute care patient.
