Welcome to FungusCME.org - FungusCME.org is the official continuing education site of the collaboration of the Mycoses Study Group Education & Research Consortium; the University of Nebraska Medical Center, Center for Continuing Education; and Terranova Medica. HOME ABOUT CONTACT Welcome to FungusCME.org FungusCME.org is the official continuing education site of the collaboration of the Mycoses Study Group Education & Research Consortium and Terranova Medica. The MSG-ERC’s mission includes setting the annual educational and research agendas for mycology and providing top-quality continuing education initiatives to MSG-member institutions and to other institutions and practitioners throughout the United States and globally. We thank our generous commercial supporters for their commitment to our live and web-based continuing education efforts. We hope you enjoy the variety of continuing activities present on this site, and we welcome your input on ongoing educational needs in the area of invasive mycoses. Current Activities: Transformative Care for Invasive Mold Infections: Strategies That Make a Difference in Patient Outcomes Case 1: Mediastinal Mass Post Lung Transplant In this text- and audio- panel discussion moderated by Dr Luis Ostosky-Zeichner, Dr Chadi Hage presents a case illustrating the diagnosis and management of a mediastinal mass post lung transplantation. The critical care/pulmonary perspective is provided by Dr Hage, the infectious diseases perspective by Dr Marisa Micelli, and the microbiologic perspective by Dr Nathan Wiederhold. Benchmark your practices and evaluate your institutional barriers to appropriate care of patients with invasive fungal disease in the critical care setting.  Click Here to Learn More, or use the links below to register or login. Updates in Medical Mycology: Archived Content from a CME Webcast Activity for Latin America This Spanish language CME has been designed to address unmet educational needs regarding invasive yeast/endemic mycoses and mold infections in Latin America. Using a case-based approach, the activity features video lectures from Drs Francisco Marty and Arnaldo Lopes Colombo, with a recorded Q/A moderated by the chairperson, Luis Ostrosky-Zeichner.  Click Here to Learn More, or use the links below to register or login. The New Antifungal Toolkit 2019: Review of Itraconazole Formulations and Application in Endemic Mycoses *This Activity is No Longer Available for Credit Originally launched in 2014 and updated through 2019, The New Antifungal Toolkit is an Internet CME curriculum that provides current information about newer FDA-approved agents/formulations for the management of invasive fungal infections (IFIs) and evaluates their role in strategies to optimize antifungal therapy. In the 2019 updates, we provide a review of SUBA-itraconazole, updates on endemic mycoses, as well as updates to the pharmacopeia section.  Click Here to Learn More, or use the links below to register or login. Invasive Mold Face-Off: Meeting the Challenge Across the Disease Spectrum—Enduring Web Activity *This Activity is No Longer Available for Credit Invasive molds can be formidable foes for clinicians to face off with. In this highly interactive and visual case-based activity, Drs John Perfect, Tom Patterson, and Francisco Marty provide expert perspective on the prevention and management of invasive molds. Addressing topical issues such as cryptic Aspergillus spp and azole resistance, aspergillosis associated with influenza, antifungal prophylaxis and breakthrough infections, mucormycosis diagnosis and treatment, green herring syndrome, and diagnosis and management of fusariosis, this fast-paced activity will arm you with the tools you need to effectively face off against these challenging fungal infections.  Click Here to Learn More, or use the links below to register or login. Fungal Frontiers: Expert Decision Making in Medical Mycology *This Activity is No Longer Available for Credit This interactive, multimedia activity is designed to evaluate different approaches to managing clinical scenarios at the frontiers of invasive fungal infections. Explore the levels of evidence behind different strategies, contrasting expert decision making with your own approach and those of your peers. Specific content on Candida auris infection, pharmacologic aspects of antifungal prophylaxis in an HSCT patient, and management of a refractory mold infection will be provided.  Click Here to Learn More, or use the links below to register or login. Mycology Minutes TM from the 8th Trends in Medical Mycology (TIMM) Meeting and Top 2017 Papers *This Activity is No Longer Available for Credit Dr Sibylle Mellinghoff reviews high-impact poster/oral presentations and papers related to diagnostics, including MALDI-TOF, GM testing, β-D-glucan testing, fungus-specific T cells, as well as therapeutic dose monitoring, multidrug-resistant fungi, mold lung infections, and emerging therapeutics. Dr Martin Hönigl provides an overview of the clinical implications of this research. We hope you find these timely updates helpful for you in caring for patients with invasive fungal disease.  Click Here to Learn More, or use the links below to register or login. Mycology Minutes TM from the IDWeek 2017 Meeting *This Activity is No Longer Available for Credit Dr Justin Hayes of the University of Alabama School of Medicine (UAB) reviews recent data on: the impact of ID consultation/diagnostics on candidemia outcomes; Candida auris and antifungal resistance; antifungal prophylaxis; and CNS histoplasmosis and screening for cryptococcal antigenemia in solid organ transplant recipients. Dr Peter G. Pappas, also of UAB, provides a clinical commentary on these studies. We hope you find this edition of the Minutes an enlightening and thought-provoking encapsulation of emerging science/data in mycology.  Click Here to Learn More, or use the links below to register or login. The New Antifungal Toolkit 2017: The Pharmacopeia and Beyond *This Activity is No Longer Available for Credit Originally launched in 2014 and updated through 2016, The Antifungal Toolkit: The Pharmacopeia and Beyond is an Internet CME curriculum that provides current information about newer FDA-approved agents/formulations for the management of invasive fungal infections (IFIs) and evaluates their role in strategies to optimize antifungal therapy. In the 2017 updates, we have updated the discussion of newer agents/formulations, emerging agents/diagnostics, and pharmacologic principles/data.  Click Here to Learn More, or use the links below to register or login. Invasive Mycoses: Emerging Paradigms & Practical Applications (Now with an update from IDWeek 2016) *This Activity is No Longer Available for Credit This is an interactive, enduring multimedia activity based on content presented at the 2016 MSGERC symposium at ASM Microbe. With content spanning from updates on diagnostics and pharmacologic considerations for therapies to challenges in the management of invasive aspergillosis, invasive mucormycosis, and breakthrough infections, this activity addresses key clinical issues for optimal invasive fungal disease (IFD) management.
