Foundation Seminar in Infectious Diseases
Sat 20 Jun 2026

Foundation Seminar in Infectious Diseases

The Foundation Seminar in Infectious Diseases will be delivered by a combination of a self-paced learning package covering key infectious diseases principles followed by a one day live virtual seminar that will build on these concepts.

Participants will have the opportunity to interact and learn from leading infectious diseases clinicians during the live seminar to develop the basic skills required to manage patients with infectious diseases. The choice of antimicrobial therapy for common infection syndromes (bacterial and fungal) will be discussed along with the rationale behind antimicrobial selection. Participants will also gain an understanding of the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of antimicrobials and the clinical application of PK/PD and therapeutic drug monitoring to optimise the efficacy of antimicrobial agents.

The self-paced learning package comprises approximately 12 hours of learning material and will be available from Friday 8 May 2026. The live virtual component of this seminar will take place on Saturday 20 June 2026. 

Target audience
This Foundation level seminar is designed for pharmacists early in their pharmacy and/or hospital pharmacy career, or who are new to the specialty practice area of infectious diseases.
