SUMMARY:Rabies in Practice: Navigating Complex Exposure Scenarios for the Traveling Patient
DESCRIPTION:Rabies remains almost universally fatal once symptomatic\, yet it is entirely preventable with timely\, appropriate care — a gap that travel health practitioners are frequently asked to bridge under difficult circumstances. Following two years of foundational and epidemiological updates\, this year’s World Rabies Day webinar will shift to a case-based format\, walking practitioners through real-world exposure scenarios: incomplete or unavailable post-exposure prophylaxis at the destination\, uncertain animal exposure histories\, pediatric and pre-travel counseling dilemmas\, and decisions when immunoglobulin access is limited. \n\n\n\nJoin ISTM for this webinar that will combine brief expert framing with interactive\, scenario-driven discussion and audience Q&A. \n\n\n\nWebinar ObjectivesBy the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nAssess rabies exposure risk and prophylaxis needs based on real-world\, destination-specific scenarios.\n\n\n\nConfidently guide patients through incomplete or interrupted post-exposure prophylaxis regimens.\n\n\n\nTranslate current ACIP and WHO guidance into practical\, case-specific counseling for travelers.

SUMMARY:Fungi on the Fly: Travel-Associated Fungal Infections Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Fungal infections are among the most easily missed diagnoses in returning travelers. They mimic tuberculosis\, malignancy and bacterial pneumonia; they surface weeks or months after exposure\, long after the itinerary has faded from the chart; and the exposures that cause them — a cave tour\, a surgical suite abroad\, a thorn scratch on a trek — rarely make it into the travel history unless you ask for them. Fungal diseases are increasing worldwide\, treatment options remain narrow\, and there are no vaccines. CDC’s message for the week is a clinical one: think fungus to save lives. \n\n\n\nJoin speakers Tom Chiller\, Ellie Macbain and Eva Parker for this ISTM and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) webinar as part of Fungal Disease Awareness Week (FDAW). \n\n\n\nCourse ObjectivesBy the end of this webinar\, you will be able to: \n\n\n\n✅ Describe fungal infection risk associated with medical tourism\, including the epidemiology and clinical course of recent fungal meningitis outbreaks linked to procedures performed abroad\, and counsel patients considering care overseas.  \n\n\n\n✅ Identify the travel activities and destinations that carry histoplasmosis risk\, and recognize the outbreak patterns that follow adventure and group travel. \n\n\n\n✅ Recognize travel-associated dermatophyte infections\, including antifungal-resistant strains\, and outline current approaches to diagnosis and management. \n\n\n\n✅ Distinguish the implantation mycoses acquired through traumatic inoculation abroad and describe an appropriate diagnostic approach. \n\n\n\n✅ Apply a targeted exposure history to raise or lower suspicion for fungal infection in the ill returning traveler.
