Aiming to combat the threat of antibiotic resistance to patient safety and public health, the Jefferson College of Nursing developed this educational offering on antibiotic stewardship specifically for nurses. The course will help nurses participate and lead antibiotic stewardship nursing practices and deliver effective and consistent messages to patients and the public about antibiotic use and antibiotic resistance.
