  Companion animal veterinarians are increasingly confronted with patients suffering from antimicrobial resistant (AMR) infections. AMR is a problem across health sectors, though the focus has largely been on human and agricultural animals. Cats and dogs share our environments, and sometimes our ice cream cones, and we prescribe the same antibiotic drug classes as those used in human health. Recently, more attention is being payed to this oft ignored population in regards to AMR.
  
  Antimicrobial stewardship (AS) is the actions that prescribers take to improve patient outcomes while minimizing unintended consequences of antibiotic use, such as drug toxicity and the development of AMR.
  
  In this webinar Dr. Jennifer Granick, DVM, PhD, DACVIM (SAIM) - associate professor of small animal internal medicine at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine - provides an overview of AMR and AS in companion animals. It will offer simple steps and accessible tools so that every veterinary practice can start small with AS and make meaningful change.
