AMR in Animal Agriculture and Veterinary Clinical Care, Where Are We?
Recorded On: 04/26/2023
Description:
This session was part of the Sepsis Alliance AMR Conference 2023.
Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) is a complex issue that needs to be tackled with a systems thinking approach, and interdisciplinary collaboration is key. The One Health Approach establishes that the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider environment (including ecosystems) are closely linked and inter-dependent. Therefore, AMR should be addressed with a One Health approach in mind.
Animal health can broadly be divided into two sectors. The first sector is animal agriculture where a population medicine approach is used to address animal health issues, and where the main objective is to provide nutritious and healthy safe animal protein for the consumers.
In this session, attendees will gain an understanding of the veterinary perspective on ‘One Health’ system thinking, as well as learn about the current challenges and opportunities for antimicrobial stewardship in animal health, and how that ultimately affects the lives of humans.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of the session, the learner should be able to:
- Understand One Health from the veterinary perspective;
- Review the challenges around antibiotic use in animal health;
- Describe opportunities for antimicrobial stewardship in animal health.
Target Audience:
Nurses, advanced practice providers, physicians, emergency responders, pharmacists, medical technologists, respiratory therapists, physical/occupational therapists, infection prevention specialists, data/quality specialists, and more.
