About this course

This course provides 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit for license renewal and discusses how pneumonia is a leading cause of hospitalization among adults and children in the United States with high medical costs. Despite the large disease burden, critical gaps in our knowledge remain (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),n.d.). Despite the benefit shown in clinical trials, physicians should be mindful of the adverse effects of these agents as a class and weigh the risk versus benefit for each patient. This activity will focus on current evidence of using antibacterial drugs and Corticosteroids for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).

I appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.

I really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
