What will you achieve?
By the end of the course, you'll be able to...

  • Entender y evaluar el valor de la Ciencia del Cambio de Comportamiento en la implementación de la optimización del uso de antimicrobianos en el lugar de procedencia del alumno
  • Evaluar el reto de la resistencia a antibióticos en el lugar de procedencia del alumno y en su propia práctica
  • Evaluar la efectividad de utilizar determinadas estrategias/herramientas/intervenciones en la optimización del uso de antimicrobianos para impulsar la mejora en el lugar de procedencia y en la propia práctica del alumno
  • Entender el valor de la medición en la optimización del uso de antimicrobianos: cómo calcular las DDD y EPP, empezar a determinar cómo utilizarlas en su lugar de procedencia y en la propia práctica para impulsar mejoras en la prescripción de antibióticos
  • Evaluar el valor de los métodos de diagnóstico innovadores en la toma de decisiones clínicas para conseguir una prescripción de antibióticos óptima

Antibiotic Resistance: the Silent Tsunami (FutureLearn)

Understand antibiotic resistance and what actions are needed to address this increasingly serious global health threat. The introduction of the first antibiotic in the 1940s marks a true turning point in human history. For the first time, once deadly infectious diseases, such as pneumonia and bloodstream infections, became manageable health problems and new horizons for modern medicine were defined. The marketing of other antibiotics soon followed, and as a result of their initial success, bacterial infections were considered to be permanently defeated.
