Forward2019 Core Antimicrobial Stewardship Curriculum for Faculty
The IDSA Core Antimicrobial Stewardship (CAS) Curriculum was developed to provide infectious diseases (ID) fellows with foundational education and training in Antimicrobial

The faculty version of the curriculum provides access to manage fellow completions and attendance, exclusive video content for classroom facilitation, and guidance on implementation. For additional details regarding faculty participation and the time commitment, please refer to the flyer at the bottom of this page.
