Providence Regional Medical Center Everett 41st Annual Infectious Disease Conference 2025

Comprehensive Updates in Infectious Diseases, Antibiotic Stewardship & Emerging Public Health Threats

The Providence Regional Medical Center Everett 41st Annual Infectious Disease Conference 2025 provides a comprehensive review of the latest advances in infectious disease prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and public health preparedness. Designed for both primary care and infectious disease clinicians, this annual conference delivers practical, evidence-based updates that can be immediately applied in outpatient, inpatient, and community healthcare settings.

Through expert-led presentations and case-based discussions, participants gain valuable insights into antibiotic stewardship, vaccine-preventable diseases, emerging pathogens, gastrointestinal infections, tuberculosis management, and evolving treatment strategies for common and complex infectious conditions.

The program also explores major public health challenges, including vector-borne diseases, hemorrhagic fevers, avian influenza, and other emerging infectious threats, helping clinicians stay prepared for rapidly changing infectious disease landscapes.

• Helicobacter pylori management
• Diverticulitis
• Tuberculosis
• Vector-borne diseases
• Hemorrhagic fevers
• Avian influenza (Bird Flu)
• Emerging infectious diseases
• Public health preparedness

Participants gain practical tools for improving patient care while promoting responsible antimicrobial use.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

• Implement updated antibiotic stewardship principles in clinical practice.
• Apply evidence-based treatment strategies for urinary tract infections.
• Recognize and manage vaccine-preventable infectious diseases.
• Diagnose and treat common gastrointestinal infections.
• Utilize current recommendations for Clostridioides difficile management.
• Identify emerging infectious threats and appropriate preventive measures.
• Apply tuberculosis management principles in non-public health settings.
• Integrate recent infectious disease research and guideline updates into patient care.

Core Topics Covered

Antibiotic Stewardship

A major focus of the conference is optimizing antimicrobial prescribing practices.

Topics include:

• Appropriate antibiotic selection
• Shorter treatment durations
• Antimicrobial resistance prevention
• Evidence-based prescribing
• Stewardship implementation strategies
• Reducing unnecessary antibiotic exposure

Faculty review practical approaches applicable to both outpatient and inpatient care.

Vaccine-Preventable Diseases

Participants explore the resurgence of several preventable infections.

Topics include:

• Childhood vaccine-preventable illnesses
• Vaccine hesitancy
• Immunization strategies
• Outbreak prevention
• Community protection measures

Current public health recommendations are reviewed in detail.

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

Dedicated sessions examine:

• Uncomplicated and complicated UTIs
• Updated treatment recommendations
