An Introduction...

Thank you for your interest in this blog!  (Or if you accidentally came upon this, I hope you find it interesting.)  The idea of starting a blog on various infectious diseases drug information (ID DI) was mostly to keep a log of questions that come up over the month and for "fun" as well.  Hopefully this will be interesting and somewhat informative for some of you.

About me, briefly: Completed Pharm.D. in 2008, PGY1 Pharmcy Practice Residency in 2009, and PGY2 HIV/ID Residency in 2010 (primarily HIV care). Currently practicing as a "Clinical Specialist, Infectious Diseases" in a free-standing pediatric academic hospital, spending half of my time on the Antimicrobial Stewardship Program (ASP) and the other half rounding with the ID team.

Disclaimer (of course there has to be a disclaimer): although questions will be researched to the best of my ability, doing your own verification and research would be prudent. (Blogs, even if evidence-based, probably are not the most reputable of sources.) (And besides, I'm sure that you are in the academic field so think of it as fulfilling your academic duties.)  Additionally, we know that information advances quickly as time goes on, so keep in mind that dated posts may not be up-to-date.  Other disclaimer stuff: the ideas and thoughts expressed in this blog does not reflect the people I may represent inadvertently. Other medical-legal stuff: these postings are not recommendations for health care management or treatment.  If you are seeking health care recommendations, do contact your primary care provider.

Watch for weekly postings!
