Recommit to Stewardship
The 2023 conference theme centers on a recommitment to stewardship. This theme was selected given the many challenges and competing priorities health care facilities experienced over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic which drew focus and resources away from established programs and initiatives, including antibiotic stewardship programs. While the impact of the pandemic remains great, there is work being done across the health care community to rebuild and strengthen stewardship work and combat antibiotic resistance.
Please register and indicate which breakout sessions you plan to attend. Refer to the tentative agenda for a general overview of topic areas and speakers.
You will receive a confirmation email with your responses and placeholder appointments to add to your calendar.
Links to join the virtual conference will be provided to registered attendees in April.
