Antibiotic Stewardship
Learn about proper antibiotic prescribing practices to combat antibiotic resistance, a major public health threat. Improve patient outcomes and safety.
About this course
In the rapidly evolving landscape of medical practice, the prudent use of antibiotics remains a cornerstone for optimal patient care. With antibiotic resistance on the rise, understanding the nuances of antibiotic regimens for specific conditions, such as acute otitis media in children and Clostridioides difficile infection, is paramount. Delving deeper into specialized treatments, discerning the most effective therapy post high-risk tick bites and Lyme disease is imperative. Equally crucial is staying abreast of the latest antibiotic innovations, exemplified by the introduction of omadacycline (Nuzyra – Paratek), especially in the realm of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia and acute bacterial skin infections. Furthermore, discerning between bacterial infections in adults that require antibiotic intervention versus those that don't can significantly optimize treatment outcomes. This comprehensive training offers healthcare professionals the tools and knowledge to harness the full potential of antibiotics while maintaining their efficacy for future generations.

I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Verified reviewVery well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
Verified reviewI appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
Verified reviewI am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
