The Society of Infectious Diseases Pharmacists’ (SIDP) Antimicrobial Stewardship Certificate Program is an innovative practice-based activity focusing on the steward's role in the appropriate use of antimicrobial agents. The program, which emphasizes a health care team approach, seeks to foster the development of a strong knowledge base in microbiology, pharmacology and fundamentals of successful antimicrobial stewardship programs. The program includes core content applicable to many different practice settings. Additional resources are provided to guide participants on implementation of antimicrobial stewardship initiatives in various practice areas focusing on unique challenges and characteristics relevant to the setting (e.g., academic medical center, community hospital, emergency and urgent care, ambulatory care).
This program, originally established in 2010 and restructured in 2023, has been a resource for pharmacists and other healthcare professionals world-wide in meeting educational needs for antimicrobial stewardship. For complete details on the program, please see our downloadable Announcement.
We offer discounts for trainees, Low-and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC), and groups . For a list of qualifying LMIC countries please refer to the World Health Organization list.
