• Activity INFORMATION

  Overview

  After dealing with three years of COVID-19, providers have now been thrust from a pandemic into a “tri-endemic” or “tripledemic”. Healthcare providers now must be able to assess patients and determine if the cause of illness is viral or bacterial. Please come along on this educational journey as Dr. Michael Carter helps to differentiate between viral and bacterial illness, while also delving into the “tripledemic” to clarify key differences between COVID-19, influenza, and RSV.
