A review of antimicrobial stewardship training in medical education.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

We reviewed the published literature on antimicrobial stewardship training in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education to determine which interventions have been implemented, the extent to which they have been evaluated, and to understand which are most effective.

Methods

We searched Ovid MEDLINE and EMBASE from inception to December 2016. Four thousand three hundred eighty-five (4385) articles were identified and underwent title and abstract review. Only those articles that addressed antimicrobial stewardship interventions for medical trainees were included in the final review. We employed Kirkpatrick's four levels of evaluation (reaction, learning, behaviour, results) to categorize intervention evaluations.

Results

Our review included 48 articles.
