Everything in one place to build the PowerPoint and to answer questions at the point of care: ready-made slide decks you can drop straight into a presentation, the guidelines to cite on your final slide, free courses for content, and the phone apps clinicians actually use for antibiotics, vaccines, and drug checks.
They cover about 90% of daily infectious disease questions: which antibiotic, which vaccine, and is this drug safe with everything else the patient takes.
Start here for the workshop itself. These are made to be reused in your own deck. Always cross-check any third-party deck against CDC or IDSA before you present it.
Ready-to-use PowerPoint slide shows with captions for each clinical photograph, built by CDC for providers and educators. The fastest way to get accurate clinical images into a deck without hunting for photos.
CDC's training hub for STI prevention, with links into CDC TRAIN, a free service with more than 1,000 courses from CDC programs and partners, including STI, hepatitis, HIV, and infection control topics. Many modules are slide-based and work well as presentation source material.
A free, CDC-funded curriculum from the University of Washington STD Prevention Training Center. Lessons cover epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, management, and prevention, and integrate the most recent STI Treatment Guidelines. It offers free CME, CNE, CE, and pharmacology CE for advanced practice nurses.
Large libraries of free, downloadable infectious disease and communicable disease decks, including NP-level material. Useful for layout ideas, case formats, and a first draft outline.
Search inside SlideShare for your exact topic, for example "community-acquired pneumonia NP" or "UTI guidelines," then rebuild the slides in your own words with current sources.
All of these work on Android. Prices are the published store prices at the time this page was built, so confirm in the Play Store before subscribing. Check your school library first for UpToDate, many NP programs include it free.
The number one infectious disease app. Search by syndrome, by pathogen, or by drug. Includes interactive antibacterial spectra, drug interactions, dosing calculators, and expanded HIV and hepatitis coverage.
Official CDC app with child and adolescent schedules from birth through 18, the catch-up schedule for 4 months through 18 years, the adult schedule by age and by medical condition, plus contraindications, precautions, and footnotes. Updates automatically.
Organized by diagnosis, pathogen, and drug, with dosing, spectrum, resistance, adverse reactions, and interactions. Monthly updates. A strong second source when Sanford feels dense, and it bundles with Hopkins HIV, Diabetes, and Psychiatry guides.
Fast drug reference used by more than a million clinicians: 10,000+ drug monographs, interaction checker for up to 30 medications at once, pill identifier, dosing calculators, and lab reference values. Works offline.
Disease summaries, drug monographs for 9,200+ drugs, 450+ calculators, interaction checker, procedure videos, medical news, and free CME and CE activities. Good for reading up on a condition the night before clinic or class.
The deep reference: expert-authored, peer-reviewed topics across 25 specialties with graded recommendations. Best for building the evidence section of a presentation and for complex cases.
These are the sources exam answers and workshop rubrics are usually built on. If a fact is on a slide, it should trace back to one of these.
The Infectious Diseases Society of America A to Z guideline list, developed with systematic evidence review and GRADE ratings. Includes community-acquired pneumonia, complicated UTI (2025), C. difficile, MRSA, influenza, Lyme disease, infectious diarrhea, candidiasis, aspergillosis, and antimicrobial stewardship.
CDC's travel medicine resource page for healthcare professionals. It points to the Yellow Book (Health Information for International Travel, 2026 edition) for country-by-country vaccines and malaria prophylaxis, and to the Pink Book, Epidemiology and Prevention of Vaccine-Preventable Diseases, for vaccine and disease chapters.
The federal HIV guidelines from the HHS Panel on Antiretroviral Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents, hosted on ClinicalInfo from the NIH Office of AIDS Research. Covers what to start, lab monitoring, drug resistance testing, and opportunistic infection prevention and treatment.
Practical, print-ready immunization materials for healthcare professionals: Vaccine Information Statements in dozens of languages, standing orders, screening checklists, administration guidance, and Ask the Experts, with more than 1,300 answered clinical vaccine questions.
CDC's report and data on antibiotic use in the United States, with the Core Elements of Antibiotic Stewardship for hospitals, outpatient care, long-term care, and small hospitals. Strong material for the "when NOT to give an antibiotic" theme that exams and workshops love.
CDC's hub for STI prevention courses, the National Network of STD Clinical Prevention Training Centers, and viral hepatitis training resources. The page to bookmark alongside the STI Treatment Guidelines themselves.
A simple workflow that turns the resources above into a clean, defensible workshop deck.
One idea per slide, large font, and no walls of text. Put the guideline name and year in small type at the bottom of any slide that states a recommendation, for example "IDSA Complicated UTI Guideline, 2025." If you reuse a CDC photo, leave the CDC credit on it. If you borrowed a slide layout from SlideShare, rewrite the content in your own words and cite the guideline, not the deck.
Tap copy, paste it into a notes doc or straight onto your last slide, then delete any you did not actually use.
Formatted for a final PowerPoint slide. All links open the official source.
