Developing a curriculum on antimicrobial stewardship for pediatric residents: a needs assessment.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Identify essential components of a curriculum on antimicrobial stewardship (AS) for pediatric residents.

Design

Survey.

Setting

Academic tertiary care children's hospital.

Participants

Pediatric residents and infectious diseases (ID)/AS content experts (CE), including pediatric ID faculty, fellows, nurse practitioners, and pharmacists.

Methods

Residents were surveyed to assess prior AS experiences and usefulness of education in different AS domains (e.g., antimicrobial resistance [AMR]). CE was surveyed to identify content to include in an AS curriculum. A specific topic (e.g., resistance in Staphylococcus aureus) achieved consensus if ≥80% of CE identified the topic as "very" or "extremely" important.
