This acclaimed course, which is among the highest-rated Harvard Medical School CME courses, provides a comprehensive ID update for front-line primary care clinicians. Led by Harvard Medical School's leading ID faculty and clinicians, this program provides guidance to improve the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of infectious diseases.
