The resident will learn to optimize the management of patients with acute infectious diseases with an emphasis on antimicrobial stewardship (AMS). The Antimicrobial Stewardship team is scheduled for 4 hours daily, Monday through Friday. AMS services include prospective audit and review, dose optimization, restricted antimicrobial review, and antimicrobial recommendations. Concepts including antimicrobial spectrum, resistance mechanisms, antibiogram data, and evidence-based treatment guidelines will be reinforced and incorporated into recommendations. Additional activities during the rotation may include Medication Use Evaluation (MUE), monograph development, and Journal Club.
