This course is intended for healthcare workers involved in antimicrobial ordering, dispensing, administration, and monitoring.

The course consists of a video clip presentation with audio. This course was originally recorded in front of a live audience, so the presentation includes an interactive question and answer session. View the video and complete the follow up questions at the end of the presentation.

The course will take approximately 60 minutes to complete. You should complete this course in one sitting – progress through the video cannot be saved and returned to at a later time. You cannot move onto the quiz until the time for the video has passed even if you try to skip ahead. You may pause the video at any time if needed. If you exit the module, you can only restart the timer for the video from the beginning.
