Online Antimicrobial Resistance CME

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in partnership with the Infectious Diseases Society of America, The Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America and Medscape, offer a free continuing education activity titled "Antimicrobial Resistance Across the Continuum of Care: Winning the War One Battle at a Time." The CME and CE offer includes a roundtable discussion with antimicrobial resistance and stewardship experts and is intended for clinicians who regularly prescribe antibiotics. At the completion of the 45-minute program, clinicians should be able to identify the most important contributing factors for development of antimicrobial resistance; recognize patient and provider pressures for prescribing antibiotics; and identify ways to optimize antimicrobial therapy through stewardship initiatives.
