- Certified for physicians and nurses, this innovative activity is designed to educate healthcare professionals about CDI, a challenging diagnosis which presents a significant burden to the healthcare system nationwide. The content for this free online virtual lecture was derived from a live symposium presented on May 8, 2011, in Chicago, Illinois. The program consists of presentations from three of the nation’s leading experts in gastroenterology and infectious diseases, a panel Q&A, and a learning assessment with topics including the changing epidemiology of CDI, patient risk factors, emerging novel treatment strategies, and methods of prevention.
