An opportunity for healthcare professionals to educational material and professional development in the field of AMR and AMS.

Upon completion of this article, the reader will be able to: 

1. Discuss the history of the discoveries and warnings of antibiotic use.
2. List the agencies and organizations involved in the development of antibiotic stewardship programs.
3. Identify the top microorganisms and antibiotics that contribute to AMR.
4. Discuss the advances in antimicrobial laboratory testing and therapies and how they contribute to combatting AMR infections.
