About the Course

Antimicrobial Stewardship: Improving Clinical Outcomes by Optimization of Antibiotic Practices Internet Enduring Material Sponsored by: Stanford University School of Medicine Presented by: The Division of Infectious Diseases and Geographic Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine NOTE: These videos were produced as part of a free online course offered by the Stanford Center for Continuing Medical Education (SCCME). If you wish to receive credit for your participation in the course, you will need to complete the full course on the SCCME website at: http://cme.stanford.edu/online. The course version on Coursera does not offer CME credit. Course Description Antibiotics are among the most frequently prescribed classes of drugs and it is estimated that approximately 50% of antibiotic use, in both the outpatient and inpatient settings, is inappropriate. At the same time, in contrast to any other class of drugs, every antibiotic use has a potential public health consequence – inappropriate use may not harm only the individual patient, but contributes to societal harm by exerting an unnecessary selective pressure that may lead to antibiotic resistance among bacteria. This video based course will introduce learners to the basic principles of appropriate antibiotic use, demonstrate how to apply these principles to the management of common infections, and outline how to develop and maintain an antimicrobial stewardship program. We will offer a number of illustrative cases, recognizable to the practicing physician in his or her practice to engage learners in the thought processes that lead to optimal decision making, improved outcomes of individual patients, and harm reduction vis-a-vis the bacterial ecology. The course will also explore strategies to implement principles of antimicrobial stewardship both in your practice and also at a program level....

Loved the way of understanding of the concepts and the in depth explanation of the facts. Would highly recommend this to everyone in the clinical setting for meticulous usage of antimicrobials.

Would Rate this course 0 as there is no Certificate that you get at the end of this Course. Until Coursera doesnt give me a certificate for this course, I would keep it 1 Star.

I really enjoyed the course, it helped provide information about antibiotics and responsible use based on actual theory and data. I believe this has been a great addition to my medical education, which focuses on the use of medicine and treating patients, but not the responsibility of appropriate antibiotic usage to prevent superbugs etc.

A well strutured and logically sequenced course which very informative, engaging and meet my learning needs. Thanks to the Course Team and Stanford University for allowing individuals free access to the course. In my view, the course contributes towards building capacity in AMS and has a global reach too.
