Course Overview
Antibacterial drugs are a major contributor to the massive increase in lifespan during the twentieth century. They have also been incredibly controversial. Paradoxically being some of the safest drugs in the entire pharmacopeia and causing life-threatening allergies, secondary infections, and resistance.

This is a fascinating category of drugs that are widely used by our patients with lots of implications and interactions with Chinese medicine. This seminar examines this class of drugs and, by necessity, discusses various types of bacteria. Within each class of antibacterials, we will look at other functions, red flag issues, mechanisms of action, adverse effects, and any potential interactions.

Chinese medical practitioners often have very strong feelings about antibiotics, this course will challenge and support a lot of commonly held beliefs and help us be better practitioners for our patients.

    *CEU/CPD Approvals

    Some accreditation bodies have course approval expirations. If the approval expires, you will see a notice next to the name with a date of expiration: "[Until YYYY/MM/DD]". Please factor this date into your own renewal deadline. If an approval expires, you will be able to request that it is renewed and we will submit it for you within 2 business days. Renewals normally come back to us after 30 days. If your accreditation body is not listed under the "Approved" section, you may find it under the "Pending" section. That means that it is either currently pending approval, or that it is available for you to request: "[Upon Request]". New course approvals usually come back to us after 45 days. We use an automated system within our platform that allows you to make these requests in an easy and convenient way. Just visit the course page in your Net of Knowledge account and click the "Request Approval" button at the top. Each "Course and CEUs/CPDs" purchase grants you 1 request per accreditation body. If you request a course approval and do not complete it before its new expiration date, you will need to purchase another "CEU/CPD Add-On" to make another request. If the course is ineligible for approval with an accreditation body due to their subject-matter policies, it will be listed as "[Ineligible]", and no requests will be possible for the course.
