"When you hear hoofbeats, think horses zebras" - Interesting Cases in Clinical Microbiology Objectives-Gavina • Identify rare or atypical microbial pathogens in clinical practice and describe their distinguishing laboratory features. • Recognize the clinical and epidemiological clues that may prompt consideration of uncommon infections. • Evaluate and discuss real-world case studies involving diagnostic pitfalls of "zebra" infections and extract practical lessons that can be applied to routine microbiological evaluation. | Necrotizing soft tissue infections Objectives-Jawanda • Recognize early clinical features that may suggest necrotizing soft tissue infections and differentiate it from other soft tissue infections • Understand pathogenesis and microbiologic causes • -Implement appropriate, timely management strategies, including empiric antibiotic choices and urgent surgical intervention, to reduce morbidity and mortality | Blood Parasite Diagnostics in the Real World Objectives-Lavik • Map the transit of a specimen through the clinical laboratory following submission for blood parasite infection testing. • Explain (to a colleague) the medical and scientific justifications for strategies implemented in the detection, identification and characterization of parasite infections. • Recognize that pre-analytical, analytical and post-analytical factors influence testing |

Attendees will receive their CME certificate from the College of American Pathologists. You must follow their instructions to claim credit. Approximately 4-6 weeks after the event, you will receive an email from the CAP with instructions on claiming your credit(s) hours(s) and printing your certificate. Gap and Needs Presentations by experts in the field with opportunity for discussion will advance knowledge and competence of the learners *CME Accreditation Statement This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of the College of American Pathologists and the Indiana Association of Pathologists. The College of American Pathologists is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians CME Designation The College of American Pathologists designates this live educational activity for a maximum of 3.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. Disclaimer The content of this accredited CE (CME) activity does not necessarily reflect the view or policies of the College of American Pathologists. Note: While offering the CME credit hours listed in these pages, these activities are not intended to provide extensive training in a field. In accordance with the ACCME Standards for Commercial Support, educational programs sponsored by the IAP must demonstrate balance, independence, objectivity and scientific rigor. Prior to the activity, all faculty, authors, editors and planning committee members participating in an IAP-sponsored activity are required to disclose to attendees any relevant financial interest or other relationship with the manufacturer(s) of any commercial product(s) and/or provider(s) of commercial services that are discussed in an educational activity. This information will be disclosed to the learners before the presentation verbally or in printed material. One speaker disclosed financial relationships with ineligible companies in the past 24 months. Speaker response to questionnaire. Diasorin products are not used in the identification of pathogens to be discussed. Roche products are not used in the identification of pathogens to be discussed. Cepheid products are not used in the identification of pathogens to be discussed. Cepheid products are not used in the identification of pathogens to be discussed.
