EVENT INFORMATION:

 

Antibiotic resistance has reached serious proportions in the hospital and is now increasingly found in the community. While dire predictions about the "post-antibiotic era" are generally overblown, growing resistance to antibiotics has real potential to change the way medicine is practiced around the world. Successfully addressing this problem will require a clear-eyed, rational assessment of its causes and a willingness on the part of society to make difficult choices in the clinical setting.

 

Bring your questions and insights and join in the discussion with these experts from ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø and the VA Medical Center!
