Longstanding and now emerging/re-emerging infectious disease threats continue to pose a major threat to the health of large portions of the world. These threats differ widely in terms of course and consequences for morbidity and mortality, and affect social and economic outcomes of large portions of the world.
This COIL course is designed to enable discussion of clinical cases, which might be more prevalent geographically in different locations of the world among trainees in Infectious Disease fellowship programs in these areas and to discuss unique aspects of clinical presentation. It is intended to increase awareness of differences in resource availability, share ideas that may be implemented locally, optimally adapt best practices in a relevant manner and to foster friendships/partnerships.
