Using case studies this course will increase your knowledge and skills in identifying patients with pulmonary and extrapulmonary symptoms. It also highlights risk factors, the importance of screening and contact tracing and the benefits and limitations of vaccination.

This course will enable you to develop strategies within your practice to improve the prevention, diagnosis and management of TB.
