CONTENT

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is now one the biggest threats facing modern medicine. Initially described mostly in association with hospital-associated infections in high-income countries, the highest rates of AMR are now reported from low and middle-income countries (LMIC) around the world. The causes underlying the global rise in AMR are complex, but central to this crisis is overconsumption of antibiotics.

This 3-day hybrid course will focus on understanding the complex causes underlying the emergence and spread of AMR, on approaches to tackle antibiotic misuse in different settings, and on discussing promising scientific advances related to AMR.

The course format is a mix of plenary talks and panel discussions, with opportunities to interact with course faculty and participants who work across the spectrum of the antimicrobial resistance space indifferent countries.

Clinicians, researchers, implementers, and health educators from both high-income and low and middle-income countries will share questions, successes, and lessons learned to advance the field of AMR.

OBJECTIVES

At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the basic mechanisms and trends in antimicrobial resistance
• Describe essential diagnostic tools and challenges/opportunities for improved AMR surveillance in different settings
• Identify adaptive challenges and practical solutions to implementing stewardship programs in different settings
• Understand the emerging issues in antimicrobial use and resistance in agriculture and natural environments, and their potential link to human health
• Discuss promising advances in AMR-related biomedical research

TARGET AUDIENCE

This course appeals to a wide range of participants including:

• Clinicians, pharmacists, technologists, researchers and students studying infectious diseases, tropical medicine, or global health
• Policy makers and public health agency officials
• Product developers and funders
• Community advocacy groups working in global health

ENROLMENT

In-person maximum 150 participants.

Online maximum 100 participants.
