Course Overview
Antibiotics Explained Clearly is a course designed to clarify, review, and augment the training and understanding of primary care clinicians in the use of antibiotics. The modules included in this course take a departure from the traditional slide presentation style lecture. Instead, the course is comprised of a series of video lectures aided by real-time instructor-led chalkboard visuals. This method of learning allows for the subject matter to be broken down to the basics and is designed to increase learning and retention.
Antibiotics Explained Clearly covers the major classes of antibiotics including coverage, efficacy, differences between generations, and important side effects. This CME course will utilize a combination of videos, quizzes, and systematic discussion of clinical scenarios and practice cases to effectively deliver the course content.
Course Objectives:
As a result of this educational activity, participants should be better able to:
- Describe each class of antibiotics in a methodical way.
- Identify the key differences between each cephalosporin generation and what types of bacteria they cover.
- Identify the correct mechanism for different antibiotics.
Post-Test and Evaluation:
After completing the CME activity, you must successfully complete a post-test and fill out a program evaluation form. You will then be able to view and print your CME certificate.

I really benefited from the easy to understand illustrations with lecture. How the antibiotics work against organisms was clearly explained, again, in an easy to understand way. I appreciated the side effect summaries to be able to better educate my patients as I work with various physicians. This is a great way to educate people. I look forward to using MedCram more often!!
YONAS RARU
This is an amazing course. It simplifies a lot of complicated stuff about antibiotics - I really loved it. I'd highly recommend it to any medical professional, and recommending it to my friends as well.

ZSUZSANNA GERENCSER, MD
DAVID TENTLER
Somewhat helpful but not enough for my dental school classes. More quiz questions would be helpful, and having more than just two options would make them even better. I think these courses are good for someone going through EMT training or even nursing school, but definitely not doctorate level courses.
REGINA KING, NP
Excellent course. I learned more in this course about antibiotics than I have in any other training course I've taken.

Good bird's eye view of the most relevant classes of antibiotics. Conspicuously missing from the bill is metronidazole which is in common use across the globe and features on the World Health Organization's list of essential medicines. I would love to see a video on anti-fungals/anti-parasite drugs. Steve Netherlands
AHMED YOUNES
The course is so great at giving an idea about the most important points in each class of antibiotics .. making the coverage and interactions so clear especially between agents of the same group. It will be of great help to those who are going through board exams and it will make you shine during morning rounds as well :) I would recommend giving an intro lecture enumerating the mechanism of action of the different groups of antibiotics in 1 diagram ( I remember something like that in USMLE step 1 books .. was really helpful). Also a brief idea about gram positives and gram negatives and why each antibiotic will do better for each one .. this would have been helpful. But overall .. it absolutely deserves the 5 stars.
JO HOFFMAN
Just the facts in easy to follow format. Gives you important information on each antibiotic class with the associated clinical presentations.
PETER JANSSEN
YASSIR MATLOOB
Basically necessary viewing for anyone who works with antibiotics. In every hospital I've been in, antibiotic guidelines are set up by microbiology and most of us are happy to follow them without really understanding why we're using certain drugs and not others. This helps clear up some common questions that most people don't want to be the ones to ask.
