Guarding Against Mosquito-Borne Illnesses in Arizona
This CME webinar will serve as an opportunity to increase provider knowledge, competence, and performance by providing the latest data and recommended guidance related to mosquito-borne illness screening, diagnosis, and management in the clinical setting. We aim to empower healthcare providers with the knowledge and tools they need to effectively address these health issues in their practice.
At the conclusion of this activity, learners will be able to:
1. Describe mosquitoes that transmit infection with a focus on mosquitoes present in Arizona.
2. Describe mosquito borne infection already present in Arizona.
3. Discuss potential mosquito borne infections that may become endemic in Arizona in the future.
