The Canadian Antimicrobial Stewardship Webinars—or ‘CAN AMS!”—is a new webinar series focused on antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) interventions. Leaders in AMS from across Canada share examples of what has been done to implement evidence-based interventions, with the goal to inspire what CAN be done to help slow the rise and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
The series aims to:
- highlight and build greater knowledge of evidence-based AMS interventions,
- help bridge knowledge gaps and capacity challenges that can limit the development of AMS interventions in key settings, and
- promote broad collaboration on AMS across regions, settings, and sectors.
CAN AMS! events promote a One Health frame for AMS to raise awareness for the interconnected drivers and consequences of AMR, and the need for shared solutions across human, animal and environmental health domains.
