3rd Annual Three Rivers Antimicrobial Stewardship Symposium

April 25, 2020

Antibiotic resistance is one of the world’s most pressing public health threats. Each year in the United States, 2 million people become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, and more than 23,000 people die as a direct result of these infections. An estimated 50% of antimicrobial use is unnecessary and inappropriate. Overuse and inappropriate use of antibiotics are directly responsible for the development of antibiotic resistance.


The 3rd Annual Three Rivers Antimicrobial Stewardship Symposium will bring together national and local experts  to explore strategies to improve utilization of antimicrobials and minimize adverse effects associated with antimicrobial exposure.  Additionally, this symposium is designed to assist individuals involved with cultivating and advancing antimicrobial stewardship programs for their local healthcare institutions.

Target Audience

Healthcare professionals including physicians, pharmacists, physician assistants, nurses, infection preventionists, facility leadership, and public health professionals.
