Course Overview

The goal of antibiotic stewardship is to monitor and enhance patient and clinician utilization of antibiotics. To successfully treat infections, safeguard patients from the risks associated with unneeded antibiotic use, and fight antibiotic resistance, it is imperative to improve antibiotic prescribing and use. The Antibiotic Stewardship certification course is taught by a team of medical experts including Stan Deresinski - MD, Clinical Professor of Infectious Disease, Elizabeth Robilotti - Instructor of Medicine/Infectious Diseases, and Marisa Holubar - Clinical Assistant Professor and is designed by Stanford University, which is presented by Coursera. 

Antibiotic Stewardship online classes comprise 5 hours of digital lectures which introduce the fundamental concepts behind appropriate antibiotic use, show how to put those concepts into action when treating common infections, and provide guidance on how to establish and manage an antibiotic stewardship program. In Antibiotic Stewardship online training, individuals will learn how to apply the basic tenets of antimicrobial stewardship in their practice as well as at the implementation level.
