• Activity INFORMATION

  Overview

  In a podcast-style discussion, Dr. Mike Corvino, PharmD, and Dr. Cole Swanson, PharmD, examine treatment strategies for dermatophyte infections, common fungal infections affecting the skin, hair, and nails. If left untreated, dermatophyte infections can lead to chronic skin conditions and complications, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Proper management is essential for alleviating symptoms, preventing recurrence, and reducing the transmission of these infections. This session will equip pharmacists and nurses with practical knowledge of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatment options, ensuring that they can manage patients with dermatophyte infections in clinical practice.
