ABSTRACT

Introduction

Antimicrobial resistance poses a serious threat to global health with significantly higher morbidity, mortality, and economic burden. This review aims to discuss the importance of the promotion of antimicrobial stewardship in medical and allied health professional curricula and training/educating tomorrow’s doctors in combatting antimicrobial resistance. A narrative literature review was conducted to retrieve relevant information related to antimicrobial resistance and stewardship and their implications on medical and allied health professional education and training from searches of computerized databases, hand searches, and authoritative texts.

Areas covered

Antimicrobial stewardship programs improve rational antibiotic use, reduce antimicrobial resistance, decrease complications of antibiotic use, and improve patient outcomes. Though health professional students recognize the importance and impact of antibiotic prescribing knowledge, many studies have consistently demonstrated low levels of confidence and competencies amongst students, highlighting that health professional schools failed to prepare them to prescribe antibiotics accurately.

Expert opinion

There is an urgent call for the integration of antimicrobial stewardship teaching at the undergraduate level of medical education to train future prescribers on this critical aspect of public health. Proper undergraduate education on rational antibiotics use would enable health professional graduates to enter clinical practice with adequate competencies to become rational prescribers.

通过在医学和相关健康专业课程中促进抗菌素管理来应对抗菌素耐药性。

摘要

介绍

抗菌素耐药性对全球健康构成严重威胁，其发病率，死亡率和经济负担明显增加。这篇综述旨在讨论在医学和专职健康专业课程中促进抗菌素管理的重要性，以及培训/教育未来的医生对抗抗菌素耐药性的重要性。进行了叙事性文献综述，以从计算机数据库的搜索，人工搜索和权威性文献中检索与抗菌素耐药性和管理权有关的信息，以及它们对医学和专职健康专业教育和培训的影响。

覆盖区域

抗菌素管理计划可改善合理的抗生素使用量，降低抗菌素耐药性，减少抗生素使用的并发症并改善患者预后。尽管卫生专业的学生认识到抗生素处方知识的重要性和影响力，但许多研究始终证明学生之间的信心和能力低下，这突出表明卫生专业学校未能为他们准备准确开具抗生素的处方。

专家意见

迫切需要在医学教育的本科阶段整合抗菌素管理教学，以对未来的处方者进行公共卫生这一关键方面的培训。适当的本科生合理使用抗生素的教育将使卫生专业的毕业生以足够的能力进入临床实践，成为合理的处方者。
