  • More great Edutainment!

    Sara and the crew do a really great job of capturing the thought process, development of a differential and then do a deep dive into the topic. Really a fun and effective way to do continuing education. As an infectious disease specialist that got their MD last century I find this so much more effective than listening to the same lectures with only minor updates. Now how do I get CME for what is a much better use of my time!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

134: A Day in the Life: ID Private Practice
Q: How can new ID physicians navigate the business side of running a practice?
Develop a basic understanding of documentation, coding and billing, arrange a good practice manager, and consider consulting a lawyer for contracts and non-compete terms to protect long-term interests.
134: A Day in the Life: ID Private Practice
Q: What should fellows ask when evaluating private-practice opportunities or contracts?
Fellows should inquire about regular day workload, call schedules, benefits, partnership tracks, buy-in costs, tail coverage, non-compete clauses, and whether there is administrative support and leadership opportunities.
134: A Day in the Life: ID Private Practice
Q: What does a typical day look like for ID physicians in private practice, and how does it differ from fellowship or hospital-based work?
A typical day involves a mix of inpatient rounds, outpatient clinic, and consults, with schedules varying by hospital coverage and patient load, and often requiring a balance between hospital rounds and private-practice responsibilities.
133: Pump and Circumstance: An update on VAD/MCS infections
Q: So bringing it back to the case, how would you classify this patient according to the new 2024 definitions?
The patient's superficial driveline infection with MDR Pseudomonas would be considered complicated under the new 2024 definitions, guiding a longer initial IV course and careful evaluation for deeper involvement, with definitive management including consideration of driveline exchange if necessary and plans for long-term suppressive therapy given resistance concerns.
128: StAR: Complexities in CIED Infection
Q: When is the appropriate time to place a new device back after extraction?
Re-implantation timing depends on whether there are vegetations on the valve or not; generally, it's about waiting 14 days for valve vegetations but can be 48-72 hours without them.
