Course overview: this CME is intended to help clinicians decide when to test for tick-borne infections, based on symptoms, geographic location, timing, and organism infection rates. Content for this free course was compiled by a team of pathologists, clinicians, and informaticists who analyzed Quest Laboratories’ U.S. patient data from 2010 to 2016, along with CDC tick-borne disease case reports. This concise, data-driven overview will help clinicians quickly decide which tests to order after a tick-bite, potentially speeding up treatment decisions and saving lives.

Instructor: Elizabeth Lee-Lewandrowski, PhD, MPH (Department of Pathology, Division of Clinical Laboratories and Molecular Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School)
