With the 2018 ACDIS conference close in the rearview mirror, the ACDIS team is already busy planning for our next conference: ACDIS Symposium: Outpatient CDI. This event is a very different conference than our annual May extravaganza.

For one thing, the Symposium is focused on the small but growing topic of CDI in the outpatient setting. Additionally, because of the smaller size of the Symposium, we’re able to hold more intimate discussions that facilitate sharing, whether people have been practicing outpatient CDI for several years or have barely begun.

I’m excited to open the call for presenters for two parts of the Symposium that actively foster these idea exchanges. The first is the Lightning Round, where we combine four or five quick presentations into a one-hour session, and the second is our first poster presentation at the Symposium.
