ABOUT
Antimicrobial Education is Antimicrobial Stewardship
We started working on the first edition of the Children's National Antimicrobial Education Guide back in 2018 as a tool to teach trainees about the effective and responsible use of antimicrobials.
​
Antimicrobial stewardship is aimed at improving infection cure rates while reducing treatment failures, antimicrobial adverse effects, and antimicrobial resistance.
​
We've now moved into a digital platform here at Children's National Antimicrobial Education to further spread education about sound antimicrobial use and to help train the antimicrobial stewards of the present and future.
