Introduction of antimicrobial resistance education in pharmacy curricula in India: lessons learned and future direction

  17 April 2024

The study explores the impact of an AMR curriculum implemented in a pharmacy college in Kerala, India, on pharmacists’ participation in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) activities. Data was collected through documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews with faculty, clinical pharmacists, and students involved in the curriculum design, implementation, and use. Challenges included lack of human resources, time, limited interactions, and student motivation. The findings suggest that implementing similar AMR curriculum’s in other pharmacy colleges could help train pharmacists in AMS activities.
