Course Introduction
About this course
The Antibiotic Stewardship and Resistance Management course provides essential knowledge on the responsible use of antibiotics to combat antimicrobial resistance. It emphasizes evidence-based prescribing, infection control, and multidisciplinary collaboration to preserve antibiotic effectiveness. This course aligns with Terraleap’s mission to promote safe, rational, and sustainable healthcare practices.
Antibiotic stewardship is the structured discipline of using antibiotics only when needed, with the right drug, the right dose, and the right duration — preserving these critical medicines for current and future generations.
This course covers the principles and practical implementation of antibiotic stewardship — covering prescribing frameworks, audit methods, resistance trends, and prescriber-engagement strategies that drive change.
