This presentation will review current themes in antimicrobial resistance in human medicine and explore the potential areas of impact on veterinary internal medicine, recognizing the intrinsic connection between human and animal health (OneHealth). This session will then pivot to discuss approaches to development of antimicrobial stewardship programs in adult human inpatient and outpatient realms, with a particular emphasis on potential pitfalls that may emerge in the implementation process and ways to successfully avoid these. 

Learning Objectives:

  • Upon completion, participants will be able to describe current antimicrobial resistance trends in human medicine.
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to highlight potential links between human and small animal antimicrobial resistance.
  • Upon completion, participants will demonstrate understanding of key tenets of building an antimicrobial stewardship program and strategies to avoid potential pitfalls in the implementation process.
