Pharmacist Infectious Disease | Patient Safety | Treatment Guidelines Podcast 45 credit minutes

This course reviews appropriate antibiotic use in dental settings, including indications, preferred treatment options, and safety concerns associated with specific agents. You will be better prepared to support evidence-based antibiotic use, identify opportunities for intervention, and collaborate with dental colleagues to promote antimicrobial stewardship.
