30 Years of SIDP Research

In celebration of 30 Years of SIDP, the SIDP Stewardship Committee would like to recognize the growth of the Antimicrobial Stewardship Certificate Program. As highlighted in last weeks’ 30 years of SIDP digest, the Antimicrobial Stewardship Certificate Program has grown significantly over the last several years.  In this week’s digest, the Stewardship committee is highlighting the global distribution of those who have graduated from the Antimicrobial Stewardship Certificate Program.   

The SIDP Antimicrobial Stewardship Certificate program was initiated in 2010 with the purpose of providing antimicrobial stewardship training to pharmacists in order to develop and implement successful antimicrobial stewardship programs.  Since the graduation of the first participant from the program in 2012, the certificate program has continued to expand worldwide. 

Learn about the diverse locations for graduates of the Antimicrobial Stewardship Certificate Program below!

The growth of the organization is due to the dedication of the SIDP leaders and members as yourself. Please join us in thanking the leaders and our colleagues for their dedication and commitment to SIDP.

Top 30 SIDP Moments

In celebration of 30 Years of SIDP, the SIDP Nominations & Bylaws Committee would like to recognize the leaders within our organization. The successes and accomplishments of SIDP are because of the excellent, hard-working members who volunteer their time to serve.

Leadership comes in many different forms, and can be found at all levels within SIDP including, but not limited to the board of directors, committee chairs, and task forces. While we are not able to highlight and recognize all of our leaders in this event, we want to thank all SIDP members and leaders for their dedication, time, and efforts to SIDP.

We’ve selected 30 SIDP leaders and wanted to provide an opportunity for you to learn more about each of them as well as their SIDP leadership. SIDP leaders were asked to provide a professional accomplishment that they were proud of, why they chose to be an ID pharmacist, and a fun fact about themselves. All SIDP leaders are alphabetized by last name. In an effort to minimize duplication with another committee’s 30 Years of SIDP activity, past-presidents were excluded from this list.

In celebration of 30 years of SIDP, the Publications and Podcasts committee has introduced a recurring column in the newsletters called “Celebrating 30 Years of SIDP” written by SIDP founding members/past presidents including John Bosso, Peggy Carver, and Michael Dudley, and Pubs and Pods Vice-chair Rachel Britt. Each edition of the newsletter explores a different topic: a history of ID pharmacy, a history of SIDP, the present of SIDP, and the future of SIDP.

The July 2021 edition of the SIDP Newsletter will celebrate the 30 years of SIDP by reflecting on the current state of SIDP, and will be available to SIDP members on the Newsletters page on July 23, 2021. In addition, highlights from all four columns were published as the inaugural Bench to Bedside with SIDP column on ContagionLive. 

In celebration of 30 years of SIDP, the Inter-Organizational and Engagement Committee would like to recognize the impact SIDP collaborations with other organizations and partners have had on the field of infectious diseases since the beginning of our organization.  At the link below, you will find a list of 30 key collaborative projects supported by SIDP over the past 30 years. There were far too many to recognize all of the excellent collaborations, but you can explore some of the key highlights below!

The SIDP website is a wonderful resource for the SIDP members and the public. It now has over 70,000 users and over 265,000 pageviews annually. It draws audiences from around the globe and helps support the mission of SIDP to ADVANCE infectious diseases pharmacy and LEAD antimicrobial stewardship to OPTIMIZE the care of patients with infections.
