Significant increases in worldwide antimicrobial resistance has created an urgent need for the appropriate use and management of antimicrobial prescribing. Hence the concept of Antimicrobial Stewardship has become the primary driving mechanism for the optimization of patient care and the preservation of our antimicrobial armament. Guidelines for developing and enhancing antimicrobial stewardship from the Infectious Diseases Society of America (Dellit et al. CID 2007;44:159-77; Barlam et al. CID 2016;62:e51-e77) have highlighted the need for qualified providers as a core component for the development and maintenance of an appropriate antimicrobial stewardship program (ASP). The limited amount of training provided in pharmacy and medicine residencies and fellowships and nursing curricula however, cannot appropriately train the amount of skilled clinicians needed to take on these important clinical roles. The MAD-ID Antimicrobial Stewardship Training Program is designed to help practitioners who are currently or planning to pursue antimicrobial stewardship activities.
