In recent years, the epidemiology of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) has been changing. This trend may be the result of antimicrobial use, infection control practices, or other factors. It is critical for healthcare professionals to be aware of the epidemiology of this virulent pathogen and apply evidence-based principles for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.

To address the need for current education on CDI, Robert Michael Educational Institute LLC (RMEI) and Postgraduate Institute for Medicine (PIM) are jointly sponsoring complimentary continuing education lectures conveniently located at medical institutions across the United States. This activity is supported by an educational grant from ViroPharma Incorporated and is accredited for physicians, pharmacists, and registered nurses.

Faculty for these lectures are leading experts in infectious diseases, gastroenterology, microbiology, epidemiology, and infection control.

"Robert Michael Educational Institute LLC is committed to providing healthcare professionals with opportunities for quality, innovative, and convenient continuing medical education," says President and CEO, Robert M. Colleluori.

RMEI is a medical education company that specializes in independent, certified, and non-certified education. The goal of all certified RMEI educational offerings is to promote a spirit of lifelong learning and continuous professional development. RMEI works closely with medical experts to design activities that improve diagnosis and treatment leading to better outcomes for patients. These activities include national and international symposia, teleconferences, live meetings, enduring print materials, and interactive Internet programs.
