Course Overview

Infectious diseases remain among the most dynamic areas of modern medicine, with continuous advances in antimicrobial therapy, molecular diagnostics, vaccination strategies, emerging pathogens, infection prevention, and antimicrobial stewardship. Clinicians must integrate evolving scientific evidence with practical clinical decision-making while balancing treatment efficacy, antimicrobial resistance, patient safety, and healthcare quality.

The Brigham Board Review and Comprehensive Update in Infectious Diseases 2026 provides a systematic review of the most important topics encountered in infectious disease practice and on the ABIM board examination. Faculty combine current clinical guidelines, board-style teaching, pathophysiologic principles, and real-world patient management strategies to strengthen diagnostic reasoning and therapeutic decision-making.

The curriculum emphasizes evidence-based medicine, comprehensive board preparation, and practical approaches applicable to hospital medicine, outpatient infectious disease consultation, transplant medicine, immunocompromised patients, and global infectious diseases.
