Antibiotics can be life-saving treatment for bacterial infections, however they are not effective against viral infections. Anytime antibiotics are prescribed, they can lead to side effects and contribute to the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. During this webinar, “Getting Started in Improving Antibiotic Use,” Drs. Tsay and Neuhauser will discuss current trends in antibiotic use in the United States and ways that clinicians and facilities can identify opportunities for improvement within their own practice or facility.

2
Understand CDC’s Core Elements of Antibiotic Stewardship as they apply to outpatient and inpatient settings.
