Antimicrobial resistant (AMR) infections are increasingly common in companion animal practice. Antimicrobial stewardship (AS) is a process aimed at optimizing antimicrobial use while effectively treating infections. However, most companion animal practices have significant constraints in both human and material resources which make development of AS programs difficult. This workshop will review the problem of AMR and discuss actionable steps for each of the AVMA’s five core principles of AS. Special emphasis will be placed on common conditions for which practice-specific antibiotic prescribing protocols could be created. Participants will collaborate in clinic teams to work through a sample AS plan and tailor it to their needs. At the end of this workshop, participants will leave with a plan to implement at least one small step towards optimizing antimicrobial use in their clinic, while maintaining client satisfaction.
Learning Objectives:
Target audience for this workshop includes clinic teams of a veterinarian, veterinary technician, and practice manager. Attendees who are unable to come as a team will leave the workshop with materials to engage colleagues in their practice.
