Antimicrobial Stewardship
This is a course introduced to me by a friend. It just has something to do with the content of my paper. I enjoyed the insights and advice from experts in the field and was able to learn how to use antibiotics most effectively. It made me answer a lot of questions.
The course was not bad. I enjoyed the lecture on the basic principles of AMS discovery management and learned how to implement the AMS plan in my own practice. I can apply it in practice.
During the course, I learned how to evaluate AMS strategies, how to explore the process of developing and updating local antimicrobial prescription policies, and how to use interdisciplinary collaborative approaches. This course is awesome. It's practical.
The course takes us together to study the threat of antimicrobial resistance in the Middle East, the Gulf, and North Africa, and guides us to learn how best to solve the problem. Very good.
