A series of important conversations for infectious disease practitioners and infection preventionists.

8:00am-3:45pm (CDT)
In-Person at Belmont University

This symposium brings together key stakeholders and infectious disease practitioners from across Tennessee, the southeastern US, and beyond. Pharmacists, physicians, nurses, infection preventionists, and microbiologists learn and share important information about infectious diseases, as well as discuss ways that we can work together as a medical community to improve appropriate antimicrobial use and mitigate the risks associated with inappropriate use. In addition, continuing education credit is available for pharmacists, physicians, and nurses.
