Antimicrobial Stewardship

The Antimicrobial Stewardship (AMS) team at Carilion Clinic is a system-wide group of Infectious Diseases experts that provides assistance in managing infections and works to empower all members of the healthcare team to be stewards of optimal antimicrobial use.

Education

"Why Antimicrobial Stewardship Matters" Video Series

This video series explores the importance of AMS, especially in the ambulatory setting. Leaders across Carilion are sharing their thoughts on how AMS is integral to quality care. These videos are for awareness and have no CME associated with them.

Bite-Sized ID Video Series

These short-form (less than 15 minutes) videos are focused on targeted clinical needs for various disease states in ID. They often contain updates to current treatment approaches.

CME is available for these education videos for Carilion-employed physicians and practitioners only.

Podcast Series

The AMS team has started producing a podcast for healthcare professionals. Episodes feature discussions with subject-matter experts and frontline clinicians about common issues in infectious diseases. Currently, the episodes are available on YouTube, with plans to expand to other podcast platforms.

CME is available for some podcast episodes for Carilion-employed physicians and practitioners only.
