CDC offers continuing education on STDs

Need to brush up on your knowledge of current treatment practices when it comes to sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) Division of Sexually Transmitted Diseases is offering new on-line STD education modules.

The modules offer free continuing education credit for seven STD topics: chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, pelvic inflammatory disease, vaginitis, herpes simplex virus, and human papillomavirus. Each module covers epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and partner services information, along with an interactive case study.

The modules are aimed at clinicians in primary care settings, such as nurses, nurse practitioners, nurse-midwives, physician assistants, and physicians, who desire a basic introduction to STD diagnosis and management.

To access the modules, visit the division’s web page, www.cdc.gov/std. Under "Resources," click on "Training," "Continuing Education Online," and "STD Curriculum Self-Study Modules."
