Section 1: Introduction to Antimicrobial Stewardship (Faculty)
Section 1: Introduction to Antimicrobial Stewardship
Content in this section covers 3 main topics. These include:
- An Introduction to Antimicrobial Stewardship
- A Brief Overview of the Side Effects of Antibiotics, and
- The Role of Diagnostics in Antimicrobial Stewardship
As the faculty or stewardship champion leading this effort, you can decide how the content is distributed and presented to your stewards- in- training.
For Stewards:
The fellow/trainee can watch the eLearning on their own, followed by a debrief between fellow and faculty.
For Faculty:
To present in a classroom or small group setting, there are two methods of delivery:
Method 1: | You can open the eLearning and let it talk for you, controlling the slides and the pace |
Method 2: | You can open the presentation, narrating the slides yourself. |
At the bottom of this course landing page, you will find a handout highlighting AS Core Concepts that are introduced in this section. Knowledge check questions embedded in the eLearnings and presentations provide a mechanism to assess understanding of concepts.
Target Audience
Program Directors, Antimicrobial Stewardship Faculty Champions, and additional Faculty responsible for leading and implementing the CAS Curriculum.
