Infectious Diseases and Antimicrobial Stewardship, the latest release in ACCP’s Pediatric Self-Assessment Program (PedSAP), presents timely, evidence-based updates on the management of infectious diseases in the pediatric population and as well as antimicrobial stewardship. The target audience for the book is board-certified and advanced-level clinical pharmacists caring for pediatric patients who have infectious diseases and/or require antimicrobial therapy.

Infectious Diseases and Antimicrobial Stewardship carries a total of 11.0 continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credits. Content was developed under the leadership of Faculty Panel Chair Caroline M. Sierra, Pharm.D., BCPPS.

The first module addresses management of congenital infections and drug-resistant infections in pediatric patients. The second module discusses antimicrobial stewardship, focusing on outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy and optimization of antibiotic therapy. The final module contains interactive cases discussing the timely topics of polio, congenital syphilis, and salmonella.

Each PedSAP release has continuing education activities that cover the most recent published data (past 3–5 years) on a specific therapeutic area or patient-care problem. This content is provided as a full-color electronic book (interactive PDF) with high-level updates designed, as appropriate to the topic, in three formats:

  • Traditional review-style chapters
  • Interactive cases (a series of webpages, each introduced by a sample case-based question)
  • Recorded webcast (PowerPoint presentation; includes PDF of the transcribed narrative)

PedSAP chapters and features are fully referenced, with clickable hyperlinks to literature compilers such as PubMed. Other links provide ready access to clinical practice guidelines, official recommendations, and patient assessment tools. Graphics focus on pivotal studies, patient care scenarios, and take-home points that can be readily integrated into clinical practice. Included with every purchase is an e-media version you can view on an e-reader, tablet, and iOS or Android smart phone.
