Content in this section is available through one interactive activity and one module.

The first activity is an antibiotic shortage simulation exercise entitled “Shortage Mitigation of Antibiotics in Real Time (SMART)”.

You should prepare for the shortage exercise by researching the SMART preparation questions. Faculty can distribute the questions and provide a brief primer on the activity, in advance, if necessary.

Ideally, several hours to a week later, faculty will lead a small group exercise while working through the eLearning module as a group.

If faculty resources are not available or just wanting to learn more, you are welcome to view/listen to the pre-recorded "SMARTcast Exercise", recorded at IDWeek 2018.

For this component of Section 4, you will gather relevant history behind ASPs, become familiar with how medications move through formulary and interact with different committees. You will also be introduced to some quality improvement concepts, that can be further developed in the Advanced AS Curriculum.
