  • Overview

    This program discusses respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a ubiquitous infection capable of infecting all age groups with a high probability of reinfection. However, the clinical presentation of the disease across age groups is non-specific, and clinicians often fail to identify individuals within the population at the highest risk for poor outcomes. RSV vaccination attempts have historically been unsuccessful. Multiple potential vaccines are proceeding to the late stage of development; however, there is little awareness of these potential options. This program addresses these topics, as well as vaccine hesitancy, as it is often a barrier to improving vaccination compliance, as it exists both at the provider and patient level.

  • Target Audience

    This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of the interprofessional team, including pediatricians, family practice, general practice, internal medicine, pulmonology/critical care, hospital medicine, infectious disease and advanced practice providers (nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, and pharmacists) involved in the prevention of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

  • Learning Objectives

    After participating in this educational activity, participants should be better able to: 

    • Increase knowledge of the clinical presentation of RSV across “at risk” patient populations at high risk of severe RSV. 
    • Review historical RSV vaccination/treatment failures, key learnings of researchers toward development of future RSV vaccines and immunoprophylaxis. 
    • Highlight common theories and issues around vaccine hesitancy with best practices to overcome these. 
  • Accreditation Statement

    In support of improving patient care, this activity has been planned and implemented by Global Learning Collaborative (GLC) and TotalCME, Inc. GLC is jointly accredited by the American Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.

    This activity was planned by and for the healthcare team, and learners will receive 1.0 Interprofessional Continuing Education (IPCE) credit for learning and change.
