Practicals (PUMS - Adv Infectious Diseases)

I like the series presented by Dr. Fisher. I love his explanation because it help stick material better when you understand why are we doing certain steps. Thank you Dr. Fisher.

I really appreciate how comprehensive the course is, including the power point notes and the additional resources. I also appreciate the visuals. The subject is explained very clearly, and the case examples help with applying the knowledge in the clinical setting. My NP program truly lacks lectures and lecture notes to facilitate learning, which is unfortunate. With my program, I feel I have little to no guidance other than assigned readings. Reading a whole text book doesn't help with memory retention, as people have different ways of learning. I think Lecturio does a good job at ensuring the courses are effective for all types of learners. I'm definitely going to continue using Lecturio during the duration of my program and preparation for the board exams.

Dr. Fisher is very clear on the lectures, this topics are relevant for the med student and are well explored here.

Good video, for a important topic. Dr. Fisher has a lot of information to share and its a pleasure to see him explaining so well.

fair explanation but would have preferred her to do more demonstration using too

Understanding that orbital cellulitis typically comes from sinus infections, whereas preseptal usually comes from the skin is helpful.

Interesting data that I din't knew despite reading a lot of endocarditis from other sources.

Very informative. Helpful in provding explaination I can reuse when describing why influenza is harmful to the lungs

This is a great lecture presented by a great speaker!

The lecture is clear and i understand it. Am looking forward to see Np question review

Very targeted and practical presentation and UpToDate thanks for that fantastic talk

Brian is incredibly clear as a communicator and the lesson is fantastic

Being an internal medicine specialist I would like to get the update in all relevant topics

very good revision,VERY GOOD ILLUSTRATIONS I LIKED IT ,I WAS VERY HAPPY

The content is concise, straightforward and video time is short. However, using a pointer would be helpful. Overall excellent

The doctor is very clear in his explanations and makes learning more easier.

Plz add some differentials for orogrnital ulcer. Overall lecture quality was excellent

Great content presented in a format that can be applied at the bedside. Thank you!

i did like it because it is clear easy to understand .

I really like it! It is easy to understand, clear and give a lot of practical info , which is extreamly important in preparation and in practical life as a physician

Amazing profesor and great Dr with a lot of experience, really useful clinical anecdotes. His method of teaching is really great.

made it easier for me to remember the features of each disease entity..

Infectious diseases aren’t my favorite topic to study but with Dr. Fisher I can feel my own IQ increasing and my own brain expanding. It’s such a pleasure and an honor to be taught by him. Thank you, Lecturio, for this unbelievable opportunity.

This is the best course ever; and i would like if u can add much more complex of physiopatology; but inspite of that; thank u for this videolecture; I really enjoyed

it was simplified thus was able to understand. now will be able to manage my patient much better than before

Easy to follow without spending too much effort . Can watch videos in your downtime.

Your lectures are excellent because you have a great diction! Thanks.

The teaching was very good. I was just sad it did not include acute bronchitis. And no one talked about infectious mononucleosis. Otherwise everything was perfect.

Good explanation of drug side effects and easy to remember

1. Is there a US version? 2. It will be better to tell what's going to do before checking. 3. Please explain why. 4. Please illustrate how much is considered to be certain diseases

Clinical anecdotes are a great supplement to an already helpful lecture

1- because the courses were very well presented. 2-I like it because it can help in clinical knowledge. 3-Personnel finding in internet.

It important lectures and I am very happy to be here

very good lecturer and high yield info. interesting and learning a lot!

very interesting assessment and thank you for the antibiotic regimen.

I love all the lectures of Dr Fisher. He seems passionate about his speciality and knows a lot! His courses are rich and enjoyable

Really well explained. informative and detailed whilst also being concise

Everything explained thoroughly , it was very easy to understand , and the lecture was informational

These were excellent! Great practical information as well with excellent case examples.

Excellent! Very clear. I also appreciate the case scenarios he provides.

Le recomendaría este curso a mis compañeros, ya que tiene una correcta explicación de los puntos claves para el manejo de dichos pacientes y no alarga el material, además considero que ese doctor es un buen docente ya que junta lo teórico con su experiencia clínica. Logrando en mi un Aprendizaje de Alto Rendimiento

Explica muy bien y claramente domina el tema aunque la epidemiología difiere con la de mi país igual en los medios auxiliares de diagnósticos se pide lo mismo. Es muy genial.

He is a great lecturer!!!!!! Keeps it interesting and concise. On of my preferred lectures

I particularly liked the part about treatment in children and contraindications.

I particularly liked the focus on understanding and recognising the disease.

HIV is a topic that is a difficult topic because of the nature of the disease and its consequences. I liked how the topic was delivered and the emphasis on awareness, information and a pragmatic approach.

Very comprehensive. I particularly liked the differences between adult and pediatric presentations, also the different courses of the disease.

I particularly liked the remarks on Lyme disease as I live in Europe. I would have liked more comments regarding the bacteria carrying the disease (B. burgdoferi) and the mechanism of action of the antibiotics.

Excellent lecture. I particularly liked the remarks on GBS and contraindications.

Excellent overview of the different vaccines with a good visual aid as the schedule.

Excellent lecture, I particularly liked the differential diagnosis of bony pain.

I particularly liked the remarks concerning the antibiotic selection and the differential diagnosis.

I particularly liked the remarks concerning the specific populations and the bacteria they're most concerned with.

I particularly liked the remarks regarding packing, and the management of pilonidal/perirectal abscess.

I particularly liked the mention of Ecthyma and the comment on PVL gene.

I particularly liked the remarks regarding the labs results and steroids.

I particularly liked the explanation regarding PPD and prevalence in poor/rich countries.

I particularly liked the remarks regarding the interpretation of the PPD test.

I particularly liked the remarks concerning the taste of penicillin and the clear explanation concerning the Jones criteria.

I particularly liked the explanation of the management which makes it very clear in a stepwise fashion.

I particularly liked that the teacher focussed on the most common etiologies in this instance.

Clear explanations as usual. I particularly liked the conclusion at the end in the shape of "Take home messages".

I've seen several preseptal cellulitis in children but the attendings could never explain this disease as well as it has been done in this lecture. Thumbs up!

I particularly liked the Nigrovic Rules and the considerations regarding the long-term complications.

I particularly liked the differences regarding the age with the key features highlighted and the comments regarding the CSF values.

Excellent lecture. Crystal-clear on all levels. It gives me the confidence to have an informed opinion on Pertussis next time it comes in the differential diagnosis.

Excellent lecture. Really helps to dispel all the myths around M. pneumoniae. It does really seems like management is going to change in the upcoming years regarding this disease.

Excellent lecture as usual from a master teacher. The most important points about management are highlighted. It would have been great to hear the teacher's opinion about PO vs IV treatment, indications of drainage in case of empyema/abscess. Otherwise, I particularly liked the part about which vaccinations, why they are preventing pneumonia. Very well stressed I think. I'm going to use this when discussing with parents.

Excellent lecture. One of the best lecture, along those on Asthma and bronchiolitis. Tons of pearls and clear explanations for decision-making for the practicing clinicians.

Excellent lecture. I particularly liked the emphasis on the differential diagnostic, the remarks regarding the humidity and cold and the modality of the treatment. Also the signs that the child is sufficiently treated.

Excellent lecture, I particularly liked the recommandation to avoid labs and blood cultures, a good reminder in a "less is more" approach.

I particularly appreciated the emphasis on the clinical presentation and the radiological finding.

Excellent lecture with emphasis on most important clinical signs and clear categorization regarding management.

Clinical appearance, differential diagnosis, treatments, clinical pearls. This lecture contains the relevant and practical information.

Excellent lecture as usual. I was not aware until today about this controversy. I am not sure all of my colleagues are aware of it either. Thank you!

Excellent lecture as usual. I particularly liked all the comments about the antibiotics and the duration of antibiotherapy in children

Excellent lecture as usual. However, I would have liked to see the different sensitivities and specifities per analysis (leuco-esterase, blood, etc.) and altogether (leuco+blood, etc.) as can be found in Nelson's or other sources. All in all, I learned new things, thanks!

Knowledgeable and thoughtful instruction. He teaches in an easy to follow manner. The material covered was well organized.

Great lecture! I learned tons. It shows that the instructor masters the topic and is able to give a clear and easy-to-understand picture. I now feel much more confident for these situations and more able to integrate the local guidelines now that I understand better the general concepts. Thanks!

I really aprecciate this video because he explained the treatment and action mechanisim

I think the material is extensive and yet concise. The by the side information very interesting.

Excellent explanation, I was able to understand the topic thoroughly. Thank you Sir.

me encantó la exposición super puntual con los datos, entendible!

Have a habit of not seeing the word not so ping another answer - I am a silly dill.Great lecturer John Fisher.

His anecdotes are amazing here. Makes the subject much more memorable.

I am an RN student, 2nd semester. This lecture is very informative. I like when it describing the opportunistic infection, the lecture provides info from the type of illness, s/s, type of diagnostic tests, and treatments.

he is reading his lecture and has long pauses which make it difficult to maintain attention

well explained quick summary, has all the important information, maybe adding lumbar puncture contradictions would be helpful, thank you for all the amazing lectures Dr. Alverson, they are very helpful in reviewing pediatrics

Dr.Alverson you Do a great job in illustrating pediatric , thank you for your time and make sure that time you put it here worth. Also I thank the mcq after lesson should be harder and case oriented question

It was very very good......and just awesome Videos are short and precise and clinical scenario oriented

I think these lectures need to be presented in better way, other lectures are much better. Thank u anyway

Well instructed. Easy to understand. Awesome video. Short and to he point

the course is very good and the informations are up-to-date so l like it .

it's a well prepared material and professional doctor thank you sir

Dr. Brian Alverson is a wonderful lecturer so far! He explains everything very easily and not wasting the time. I like his lectures!

Exellent course! Helps to review material, focus on the practical things.

This conference is Clear and concise, the information is really useful

Because is not clear what is the Intersticial cystitis. Some diference between the slides and what is talking he about

Thank you Doc. You help a lot to understand and take pleasure in infections diseases. Greetings from Colombia.

The professor incorporates clinical related cases into his lectures which strengthened my clinical sense

This is a high level course, im really happy to have seen this.

What an excellent lecture! I have not seen a comparison of pharyngitis causes shown next to each other so clearly until now. Having the images of throat presentations displayed on the same slide as the narrative goes on was very helpful. Thank you!

If I´m paying for people to read the slides, Im out of this, TBH this whole Lecturio actually is super good only for just a few doctors, like Dr. Raj, and some others, but this man... really? reading everything? I´m actually pissed off.

The teacher is a highly experienced doctor and the way he correlates the lecture with his clinical knowledge is amazing.

John Fisher es uno de los mejores expositores en la plataforma. Felicidades!!! Solo me hubiera gustado escuchar un poco mas respecto a la endocarditis por S. Viridans

It more discussion then teaching material ... would be better for me to watch youtube material

Physical examination not well demonstrated ... More organised will be better stage by stage

I would like subtitles in spanish in the lecture. The automated subtitles are mistranslated. However Dr. Brian Alverson is very clear in his explanations !

Like it very much. Easy to understand, complete and concrete.

Very Good Lecture.. Excellent Explanation!... It resume very good the pathophysiology and the managment of epiglotitis. Even if it's not a common disease.

Its a really nice summary of what do any doctor needs to know to be prepare in the mission of infront the pathology

thank you so mush it was helpful thank you so mush it was helpful

The experience and knowledge that Dr Fisher has to share is invaluable for up and coming health care providers. I found it humorous and interesting; however, that in his lectures on infective endocarditis he mentioned women cardiologist as almost an anomaly. Something along the lines of... the cardiologists used to be thought of as the jet fighters of internal medicine... and... (OMG!) some of these are women now. Another lecture on the antimicrobial choice for IE he stated..."like we say...let a man buy the beer!" ....what does that mean & what does that have to do with penicillin? I grew up in the south. I've never heard this saying. Who are "we" and, why does a man have to buy beer? I like beer too.

Very glad to have such succinct and high-yeild lectures. Thanks, Dr. Alverson! I looked like a star during my group session when I brought up that breastfeeding is advised in poverty-stricken areas, but not in countries where programs like WIC make formula feeding affordable.

Focuses on the highlights and omits the extraneous details. Felt as though this has helped me master HIV a bit better

I really liked this summary, the information is precise and really easy to get thanks to the way the doctor explains it. Today at school we reviewed this topic, so when I got home I went over CRUP again with this video and it was really, really useful.

Excellent lecture easy to learning ability . I would recommend this to all of Men that are sexually active .

It is a pleasure listening to such an experienced and passionate professor. Thank you! I just wish there was also a part talking about non-bacterial pathogens causing gastroenteritis (viral and parasitic in particular). Thanks again.

Sir whats with the new guidelines of HIV AIDS? Have you seen it yet?

God bless u Sir .. you are a great teacher..........refklj bhacskvFX,N CXKBLAV;Wdls C

Dr Fisher has that ability that great lecturers have when lecturing. That plus proper use of multimedia results in a great lecture.

Great aproach It would be lovely if you indicated dose for drugs Thanks

clear about the concepts and emphasizes on each and every topic.

Concise, Succinct, and "digestible" I now know about scarlet & rheumatic fever in children.

He is a good educator.voice is so clear and not too fast or too slow.Best wishes sir.

Excelente muchas gracias me gusto pude encontrar lo que buscaba.

Thank You sir i really enjoyed your lecture. i hope to see more lectures by you.

Muy buena ponencia, totalmente recomendado, solo me hubiera gustado ver un poco mas sobre encefalitis por priones.

La información de la conferencia es muy practica y concisa , me revela nuevas cosas e inclusive me motiva a seguir investigando mas de fondo el tema. Gracias por su gran aporte Dr. John Fisher.

a lot of help a lot of help a lot of help ssssssssssssssssss

It os good but it is not the best I have ever seen

Dr Fisher is clear, succinct and his content is high yield

Me gustaría que hubiera subtítulos en español en cada vídeo. o contrataran traductores

I usually dislike older professors, but he explains very objectively and up to date.

crystal clear concept.very helpful lecturer.His voice is also very attractive.

an easy and clear concept in brief.His speech quality is sharp.

examiner won't eplain in detail about the procedure and she insits on the students to explain about the procedure, which is inaudible.

sometimes i don't like when he reading. it's feel like someone reading and i have to listen. i want him teach with his own words and talk without his script. anyway i thinks he summarizes very good and easy to understand.

I want to know, the interpretation of other lectors on this subject.

He is reading the lecture and not elaborating much. Makes pauses that makes me sleepy and he is does not make it exiting to learn.

very concise and thorough explanations, good diagrams and charts. Thank you Thank you!!!

I think those videos should not be here. Low quality and not informative. You can lean those things even from YouTube.

Dr. Fisher is very thorough in explaining certain details but also very direct to point out important information.

I watched most of the STD lectures. They are well explained and I really appreciate that. THANK YOU

It is excellent, but I would have liked to observe the evaluation technique of the JVP

Thank you for the lecture. very good and helpful. I recommend it.

Good lecture on inflamation of mucosa over middle ear cleft

One of the best lecture series on lecturio. However missing some topics such as measles

Key elements were clearly identified. He kept it simple while giving most of the pertinent information a physician should know about.

The lectures cover all aspects of each specific disease in a well-organized fashion. Concise and clear explanations .Understandable English language.Excellent lectures for basic and clinical correlations.Most of the questions are clinical vignettes which are informative too.No distractions that is no loss of concentration through the lecture.Although The big picture with comparison between the different diseases worth a separate lecture.

very nice explanation and helpful information, thank you for the knowledge shared here

Dr Alverson is absolutely brilliant. His methods of explaining, and the slide content are both very good!

This guy is very straight forward and clear. Very Helpful.

Clear explanation. Made easy to remember. I would recommend to who ever would like to learn medicine.

Really thorough lectures. Helpful pathophysiology and lots of helpful pictures. I wish every other lecture from other speakers could be like this! Thanks!

Every lecture on lecturio are excellent but pediatric lecture is something more.Easy to understand with lot of high yield concept for the Usmle step2

The simple way to explain a boring topic, great job Dr, Brian

Really helpful, very clear both for didactic & clinical parts. Thanks!

concise, really easy to listen to. Gave salient points very well. Loved the pause for thought on the red flag of having a staph aureus urinary tract infection.

Key points were identified quickly. The reinforcement of critical thinking is great!

Very comprehensive. It helps me have a good idea in advance to my Microbiology classes

First of all, love the option to choose the speed of the video clip. Secondly, it was smartly taught, no matter which type you are, from visual to auditory-learner, you are going to understand and learn it easily. I also loved Dr. Fisher's (the lecturer) teaching style, brief description for medical terms, mentioning important DDx, plus his tone and not having specific accent.

Good teacher But as I said he need to extend his lectures and give the topics an appropriate time Not only 5 minutes

I liked the clarity with which the topic was dealt with

The lectures does not go in depth about each types of disease

Only addition to the pyelonephritis lecture and the use of imaging would also be if the patients symptoms have not improved following 48 to 72 hours of Abx use!

I'd would have like to know where western blots fit in the diagnostic pathway. I think in Australia after positive confirmation of p24 go on to perform westernblots. Also what about the impact the window period has and the new for follow up testing? Finally it would have been good to discuss what is considered to be as treatment failure with HAART.

Very comprehensive discussion. It would have been worthwhile to talk about criteria for starting treatment for chronic Hep B (e.g DNA count vs symptoms and livers functions). Also unclear if treatment of HepB is curative. The hepatitis talks did not mention genotypes of Hep C at all which is important for treating the condition, particularly in countries where access to direct acting antivirals is not available. Finally the talks didn't mention what percentage of patients with chronic Hep B and C go on to develop cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Good coverage but can be improved further. I would have liked to also see a talk on the parasitic causes of diarrhoe and management of those. Also not sure how we would go about dx salmonella. Wasn't very clearly stated in the lecture

Dr Fisher is my favourite lecturer so far of the internal medicine talks. The discussions are detailed and I don't feel key points are omitted. He is an old school lecture who communicates succinctly and effectively!

I really enjoyed the lectures on CNS infection, very comprehensive and knowledge delivered at a good level. I particularly loved the personal clinical reflections. I will never forget the story about the patient with bread mold infection of the face! Wow!

Absolutely my favorite lecture so far! It was really informative, yet left me craving more. The way you explained it was easy to understand (I am a pre-nursing student). Thank you and great job!

GOOD lecture, it has the most important key points. i like it very much

Excellent presentation style-- he adds a bit of drama to it, which makes the topic more engaging and memorable.

Great lectures and a great lecturer. however missing lower respiratory tract infections. Would be nice if there was some tropical infections included too

There are fundamental errors in the video. please do something about it.

Dr Fisher is the best teacher I have ever learned from. All concepts explained very clearly, with lots of great clinical tips thrown in as well. It is a pleasure to watch his lectures.

Short and informative and clear and easy-to-digest and reconsolidation of information takes a shorter time and stays for a longer time compared to huge lectures

very interesting lecture especially with all the details about sounds and secondary signs mentioned.
