Programme tracks

Antimicrobial PK/PD

Beta-lactam extended infusions, Monte Carlo simulation for target attainment, PKPD breakpoints for resistant organisms.

Emerging Resistance

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales, CRAB, CRPA — treatment algorithms and newer beta-lactam/beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations.

Antifungal Therapy

Azole TDM (voriconazole, posaconazole), echinocandin dosing, new antifungals (ibrexafungerp, olorofim), and prophylaxis strategies.

HIV Pharmacology

Long-acting injectable regimens (cabotegravir + rilpivirine), drug interactions with CAB/RPV, and PrEP adherence pharmacology.

Antimicrobial Stewardship

ASP metrics, IV-to-oral conversion programmes, duration-of-therapy optimisation, and pharmacist-led stewardship in outpatient settings.

Special Populations

Antibiotic dosing in obesity, CRRT, ECMO, and neonatal ID pharmacology — PK/PD considerations across critical care settings.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Society of Infectious Diseases Pharmacists Annual Meeting?
The SIDP Annual Meeting ↗ is the primary conference for infectious diseases pharmacists. Organised by the Society of Infectious Diseases Pharmacists ↗, it covers antimicrobial PK/PD, resistance management, antimicrobial stewardship, and ID clinical pharmacology. Compare with the broader ACCP Annual Meeting which includes ID as one of many therapeutic areas.
What are the main clinical topics at SIDP 2026?
SIDP 2026 themes include: beta-lactam PK/PD and extended infusion (see vancomycin AUC/MIC guidance); carbapenem-resistant organism management; antifungal updates (new azoles, echinocandins); HIV pharmacotherapy; PK/PD of newer antibiotics — ceftazidime-avibactam, cefiderocol; and pharmacist-led ASP programme development. Related PK concepts: AUC, trough level.
How does SIDP support pharmacist-led antimicrobial stewardship?
SIDP co-authored the IDSA/SHEA ASP Implementation Guidelines ↗ — the foundational document for hospital antimicrobial stewardship. SIDP members are eligible for the BCIDP board certification (BPS) ↗. The annual meeting includes dedicated ASP tracks covering metrics, new antibiotic approvals, and pharmacist leadership models.
What CPE credit is available at SIDP Annual Meeting 2026?
SIDP sessions are ACPE-accredited CPE ↗ — typically 10–14 hours per meeting. Credits are reported to CPE Monitor ↗. For BCIDP recertification ↗, 100 hours of continuous learning are required. SIDP also offers case-study workshops and pre-conference short courses with additional CPE.
What is the significance of Orlando as a meeting location for SIDP 2026?
Orlando (MCO airport) offers direct connections from most US cities, making travel straightforward. The Hyatt Regency Orlando ↗ is a purpose-built convention hotel with on-site accommodation. Early November weather is mild and favourable. Compare: ISMP Medication Safety Summit (Philadelphia, November 2026) offers complementary content for ID pharmacists interested in medication safety overlap areas.
