Antimicrobial Resistance Prevention Initiative
SHEA/ASM
The American Society for Microbiology (ASM) and the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) have long been committed to the advancement of research in the antimicrobial resistance prevention arena. To further this effort, ASM and SHEA have worked together to create a new program that will provide educational opportunities designed to explore the specific epidemiology and molecular mechanisms of resistance. This CME/CPE program (offered via web cast and printed supplement to The American Journal of Medicine and The American Journal of Infection Control) will ultimately outline comprehensive patient and antibiotic management strategies with practical applications.
