The first module focuses on the latest updates regarding the management of commonly encountered parasitic illnesses and malaria. This module also provides guidance on travel medicine to inform global health practitioners, ambulatory care providers and readers who travel frequently about the strategies they should take to minimize their risk of contracting and spreading illnesses while traveling abroad. The second module focuses on providing guidance on managing tuberculosis and resistance in both high burden and low burden countries. It also discusses the unique dynamics of managing antimicrobial stewardship programs and addressing resistance in LMIC settings. In module three, the response to HIV in LMIC settings is reviewed along with a discussion of health equity in infectious diseases. The final module includes an interactive case on the complexity of managing anti-TB therapy in patients experiencing hepatoxicity and a webcast on the unique supply chain dynamics found in LMICs.
