Welcome to our educational modules for Pediatric Transplant Infectious Diseases, developed in collaboration with the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society and the American Society for Transplantation. We recognized that this specialized area of pediatric ID care is a rapidly changing and growing practice area, with few resources to help us in management. The modules are intended to help pediatric ID fellows and faculty in their understanding of infectious disease related complications in these patients.
We are indebted to a large group of authors in the US and Canada for helping us put together these modules, which will be released in stages. With this staged introduction, we very much appreciate completion of the brief surveys at the end of each module, so that we can make appropriate modifications for future iterations.
Sincerely,

Using the Interactive Modules:
- When you click on the module link that you are interested in, you will be prompted to
download the file to your computer. From there, you will be able to
open the module directly as a presentation.
- For best results,
please use Google Chrome, or other newer browsers, to download the modules. Downloading through older browsers, and in-browser previews, may cause the interactive presentation to not work as intended.
- The
modules are case-based, with decision points (branches) containing questions and potential answers ...Many questions don’t have right or wrong answers ...Click on a response ("A", e.g. a diagnostic test), and you will find out more about it
- Use the multiple
“action buttons” to navigate
- The basic modules are designed to
take about 45 minutes to complete
- You might take longer, especially if you choose to investigate all of the informational links provided
-
Do NOT use your keyboard arrows ... to advance slides
- Only
use the navigation buttons on each slide – these will keep you from getting lost ...If you do get lost, you can hit the “home” button any time to go back
- Please
complete the brief surveys at the end of each module, so that we can make appropriate modifications for future iterations.
- Take your time and enjoy!
