EDUCATION
ISID's education programs seek to strengthen the specialty of Infectious Diseases globally, support the ongoing professional development of Infectious Disease practitioners, and improve clinical practice. We advance these goals through our meeting, the International Congress on Infectious Diseases, as well as our online learning platform, ISID's Knowledge Exchange.
International Congress on Infectious Diseases (ICID)
The leading international meeting on global infectious diseases, delivering a unique blend of basic science and clinical practice.
Meetings are held biennially in different regions of the world reflecting ISID’s recognition of the global burden of infectious diseases. As a result, the Congress is notable for the extraordinarily wide range of countries represented and the opportunities it affords for the close exchange of cutting-edge scientific knowledge and communication between colleagues from around the world.
Distinguished by innovative approaches to delivering evidence-based knowledge and a world-class scientific program presented by leading international experts who have first hand experience and knowledge of the conditions they discuss, the agenda ranges from regional disease priorities to global hot topics.
Knowledge Exchange
The Knowledge Exchange platform is an online resource that shares open-access educational modules, webinars, and interactive discussions.
