Course Description

Pharmacology: Treatment Regimens for Infectious Diseases and Complex Cardiovascular Disorders – Eric Wombwell & Karen M. Marzlin

With so many changes in medications and treatment guidelines, how are you supposed to keep up?

Now’s your opportunity to sit back and relax because we have done all the research for you!

This comprehensive, self-paced online course, will give you the tools and strategies you need to prescribe with confidence. Drawing from decades of experience, these hand-selected experts will provide you with cutting-edge information regarding potential  side effects, drug interactions, proper prescribing, patient education, and monitoring procedures  for a variety of drug regimens used to treat common acute and chronic infectious diseases, and a variety of cardiovascular disease states including:

Atrial fibrillation

• Acute coronary syndrome
• Heart failure
• Urinary tract infections
• Clostridium difficile
• Pneumonia
• Upper respiratory tract infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections

Don’t miss this opportunity to keep pace with the ever-changing field of health care, and through the information gained in this course, reduce the risk of potential adverse consequences for your patients. You will leave with a holistic perspective of pharmacology and its role in providing your patients with better outcomes and quality of life.

This cutting-edge course explores the full spectrum of pharmacology in two focused parts:

Part 1:

Pharmacology of Infectious Disease & Immunizations

Eric Wombwell, PharmD, BCPS, gives you the pharmacology of different classes of antimicrobials used to treat infectious disease states encountered in clinical practice. Discover the spectrums of activity, pharmacokinetic characteristics and parameters for monitoring therapeutic outcomes. Emphasis is placed on the new antimicrobials and advances in evidence-based treatment guidelines. You will leave this course better prepared to design appropriate and cost-effective drug regimens for improved therapeutic outcomes.

Part 2:

Cardiac Medications: Management of Complex Cardiovascular Disorders

In this part of the course, Karen Marzlin DNP, RN, CCNS, CCRN-CMC, CHFN, will teach you to understand the physiological basis for cardiovascular drug therapy and discuss drugs used to manipulate hemodynamic parameters, alter the cardiac electrical system, interrupt the clotting process, and to treat a variety of cardiovascular disease states. An understanding of the physiological basis for using cardiovascular agents, the indications and appropriate patient selection, and potential adverse consequences are keys to patient safety and optimal patient outcomes.
