Activity Description

This activity will review a recent infectious disease journal article and critically evaluate study rationale and design, results, strengths/limitations of the research, and applicability of findings to clinical practice. This activity will be repeated on a quarterly basis with a focus on a different journal article and study design each time.

An open-access journal article will be selected for the activity, and a step-by-step discussion guide created by the faculty will be made accessible to participants. Participants are invited to read the article and review a downloadable discussion guide (as home-study) to consider faculty insights before completing an assessment for CE and/or BCIDP credit. A Twitter chat will be scheduled approximately 2 weeks after activity launch to facilitate additional discussion surrounding the selected article. Participation in the Twitter chat is optional (i.e. not required for CE and/or BCIDP credit) but encouraged to foster a thorough discussion of the article and key learning points.

Learning Objectives

The target audience for this activity includes pharmacists and board-certified infectious diseases pharmacists (BCIDPs) seeking to update their knowledge and skills related to contemporary infectious diseases literature review. At the completion of this activity, the participant will be able to:

• Describe study rationale and design as it relates to a recent infectious diseases journal article.
• Summarize the statistical methods used by the investigators, including a rationale for the methods selected.
• Assess study results to form a conclusion about primary and secondary outcomes.
• Determine the clinical applicability of study findings while considering strengths and limitations of the research.
