Description of CME Course
In this episode, we are joined by Dr Amina Ahmed, Pediatric Hospital Epidemiologist and Division Chair of Infectious Diseases at Atrium Health, to discuss tuberculosis in the United States. Patient isolation and appropriate PPE for health care professionals can prevent tuberculosis from spreading while the patient is being treated, but isolation can be a difficult experience for patients and their families. Listen to how Dr Ahmed approaches infection control related to TB treatment using empathy and education.
