About this webinar

This course addresses the critical issue of antibiotic resistance in outpatient healthcare, highlighting that at least 28% of antibiotics prescribed in these settings are unnecessary. Participants will explore common resistance patterns for bacteria like Staphylococcus and learn about the Federal Government's CARB 2020-2025 program, which outlines strategies for reducing unnecessary antibiotic use. The course will also cover the creation and maintenance of outpatient antibiotic stewardship programs based on CDC recommendations and provide guidance on managing three common outpatient infections using CARB and CDC protocols. This comprehensive presentation aims to equip pharmacists with the knowledge to adapt to evolving prescriber practices and effectively combat antibiotic resistance.

At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:

  1. Discuss factors that contribute to antibiotic resistance.

  2. Summarize clinical implications of antibiotic resistance for Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae and gram-negative organisms.

  3. Construct a rationale for antibiotic selection.

  4. Describe the U.S. National Strategy for combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria (and the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic).
