Jones 1,5 nd Steven J. Hoffmn 1,3,4* Abstrct Bckground: Antimicrobil resistnce is n importnt globl issue fcing society. Helthcre workers need to be engged in solving this problem, s dvoctes for rtionl ntimicrobil use, stewrds of sustinble effectiveness, nd eductors of their ptients. To fulfill this role, helthcre workers need ccess to trining nd eductionl resources on ntimicrobil resistnce. Methods: To better understnd the resources vilble to helthcre workers, we undertook globl environmentl scn of eductionl progrms nd resources trgeting helthcre workers on the topic of ntimicrobil resistnce nd ntimicrobil stewrdship. Progrms were identified through contct with key experts, web serching, nd cdemic literture serching. We summrized progrms in tbulr form, including prticipting orgniztions, region, nd intended udience. We developed coding system to clssify progrms by progrm type nd prticipting orgniztion type, ssigning multiple codes s necessry nd creting summry chrts for progrm types, orgniztion types, nd intended udience to illustrte the bredth of vilble resources. Results: We identified 94 eductionl inititives relted to ntimicrobil resistnce nd ntimicrobil stewrdship, which represent diverse rry of progrms including courses, workshops, conferences, guidelines, public outrech mterils, nd online-resource websites. These resources were developed by combintion of government bodies, professionl societies, universities, non-profit nd community orgniztions, hospitls nd helthcre centers, nd insurnce compnies nd industry. Most progrms either trgeted helthcre workers collectively or specificlly trgeted physicins. A smller number of progrms were imed t other helthcre worker groups including phrmcists, nurses, midwives, nd helthcre students. Conclusions: Our environmentl scn shows tht there re mny orgniztions working to develop nd shre eductionl resources for helthcre workers on ntimicrobil resistnce nd ntimicrobil stewrdship. Governments, hospitls, nd professionl societies pper to be driving ction on this front, sometimes working with other types of orgniztions. A brod rnge of resources hve been mde freely vilble; however, we hve noted severl opportunities for ction, including incresed enggement with students, improvements to pre-service eduction, recognition of ntimicrobil resistnce courses s continuing medicl eduction, nd better pltforms for resource-shring online.

Rogers Vn Ktwyk et l. Humn Resources for Helth (2018) 16:9 Pge 2 of 18 Bckground Antimicrobil resistnce (AMR) is looming globl helth problem; misuse nd overuse of ntimicrobils in the pst 50 yers hs ccelerted the development of resistnce to ntibiotics nd other ntimicrobil drugs [1]. With few new ntibiotics in development [2 4], it is essentil tht we preserve the usefulness of existing ntimicrobils. In their cpcity s prescribers nd eductors, helthcre workers (HCWs) will need to shoulder much of the burden in stewrding the preservtion nd longevity of ntimicrobil gents. The inpproprite use of ntimicrobils such s prescribing ntibiotics for virl illnesses or prescribing brod spectrum ntibiotics where nrrow spectrum ntibiotic would be preferble [5] drives the development of resistnce [6]. In mking smrt prescribing choices, HCWs cn reduce genetic selection pressures tht drive the development of resistnce [1]. Beyond prescribing, HCWs hve roles in infection prevention nd control (IPC), in dvocting for rtionl ntibiotic use, nd in educting their ptients on the responsible use of ntibiotics. Chnging HCW nd ptient hbits will require substntil effort to ensure tht ll prescribers nd ptients re wre of the chllenges ssocited with AMR. Surveys suggest tht mny HCWs receive too little trining on AMR nd rtionl ntibiotic use. In Sudi Arbi, nerly hlf of surveyed physicins felt tht they hd indequte knowledge of ntibiotic prescribing [7]. The Infectious Disese Society of Americ hs previously stted tht clinicin trining on ntimicrobil use in the Sttes of Americ (USA) is highly vrible nd non-stndrdized [8], nd medicl students in both Europe nd the USA hve reported desire for incresed trining on choosing ntibiotic therpies [9, 10]. The lck of coordinted pproches to AMR eduction of HCWs poses chllenge to ensuring prudent ntimicrobil prescribing. The WHO Globl Action Pln on Antimicrobil Resistnce expresses need for ll countries to include ntibiotic resistnce s core component of both HCW trining nd continuing eduction [11]. To better understnd this field, we present n illustrtive mpping of eductionl progrms nd resources on AMR nd ntimicrobil stewrdship (AMS) imed t HCWs. This effort included n investigtion of resources for AMR/AMS eduction, opportunities for continuing eduction, nd ctors in the field. This mpping exercise hs llowed us to understnd existing efforts nd identify key res for ction in AMR eduction. Methods We sought to identify AMR eductionl progrms trgeting HCWs. For bredth, progrms were identified through multiple methods, including contct with key experts, web serching, nd cdemic literture serching. An initil literture serch in August nd September 2016 identified eductionl progrms nd key cdemic reserchers who hd published in the field over the previous decde. We emiled these nd other key experts identified by WHO regionl office contcts to request informtion on AMR nd AMS-relted eductionl progrms. Additionl experts were identified vi snowbll strtegy nd web-serching. Experts were sked to identify recent or ongoing eductionl progrms on AMR/AMS. We further identified eductionl progrms through online web-serching. We hnd-serched the websites of severl relevnt orgniztions to identify pst nd current eductionl inititives. We lso conducted non-systemtic web serch using combintions of rnge of serch-terms including ntimicrobil resistnce, ntibiotic resistnce, ntimicrobil stewrdship, ntibiotic stewrdship, eduction, course, curriculum, nd workshop nd region or country in September nd October 2016. Relevnt rticles, project reports, course flyers, nd other resources were reviewed to identify progrms. We exmined ntionl ction plns concerning AMR in serch of references to eductionl inititives. Once identified, these progrms were followed up with dditionl online reserch s necessry. We summrized the identified progrms in tbulr form, including prticipting orgniztions, progrm types, region, nd intended udience. We creted codes to clssify progrms by progrm type, orgniztion type, nd WHO region. Progrms tht were not ssocited with ny specific region (such s resources tht were globlly vilble nd without geogrphicl trget popultion) were clssified s globl. Multiple progrm codes were ssigned s necessry. Progrm type nd orgniztion codes were developed nd updted itertively s progrms were identified to identify commonlities between inititives. Results Mpping eductionl inititives In totl, we identified 94 eductionl inititives relted to AMR/AMS. The 94 inititives represent diverse rry of progrms including forml courses, workshops, conferences, guidelines, public outrech mterils, nd online-resource websites. The complete list of inititives is presented in Tble 1. We identified 24 multi-component umbrell progrms, which typiclly included web-bsed resources, videos, references to guidelines, nd promotionl mterils, such s posters, pmphlets, or infogrphics. Progrms tht incorported four or more progrm types were defined s umbrell progrms. Umbrell progrms tended to hve broder trget udiences nd wider scopes; in mny cses, their wreness cmpign mterils were trgeted

By contrst, we lso identified smll number of workbooks nd question sets intended s teching resource. Other teching resources vilble online included videos, webinrs, nd lecture slides. Online courses, including mssive open online courses (MOOCs), re becoming common nd often incorporte online videos nd discussion bords to engge prticipnts. In Fll 2016, there were two MOOCs on the FutureLern pltform (see Inititives #44 nd #90). The MOOC run by the University of Dundee nd British Society for Antimicrobil Chemotherpy (Inititive #90) hs gined globl populrity. Severl experts referenced this course s resource used in their country; the course hs been offered three times to dte nd prticipnts hve come from more thn 41 countries. Figure 2 shows prticipting orgniztions grouped by type. Overll, the most commonly identified orgniztions were governmentl bodies, often the ntionl/ provincil/stte-level body responsible for helth nd/ or eduction. We lso found tht helth insurnce compnies often prtnered with other orgniztions in the USA to support AMR eduction cmpigns. Collbortions with industry cme lmost entirely from North Americ. Outside of the USA, the only other cmpigns tht prtnered with helth insurnce provider were in Frnce. The Europen Centre for Disese Control contributed to the bulk of Fig. 1 Number of identified AMR eduction progrms by progrm type

Professionl societies, prticulrly those with strong tie to AMR, were hevily involved in the cretion nd provision of resources for HCWs. Three exmples re the British Society for Antimicrobil Chemotherpy, which hs been involved in the cretion of resource websites (Inititive #48), coordintion of MOOC (Inititive #90), nd provision of funding for AMR eduction; the Europen Society of Clinicl Microbiology nd Infectious Diseses, which runs study group on ntimicrobil resistnce, develops nd coordintes courses, nd crries out collbortive cdemic reserch; nd the Infection Control Afric Network which orgnized free distnce lerning course for HCWs in Afric in 2014. Mny professionl bodies with broder mndtes, for exmple, medicl ssocitions nd peditric societies, hve prtnered with others to support lrger projects, but were rrely the led orgniztion in the projects tht we identified. For exmple, the NPSMedicineWise project (Inititive #82) in Austrli engged the Austrlin College of Nursing, Austrlin Assocition of Consultnt Phrmcy, the Austrlin College of Rurl & Remote Medicine, nd the Austrlin Nursing nd Midwifery Federtion nd mny others longside government bodies to produce resources nd course content for the website. University-led projects were typiclly relted to online or in-person courses or to resource websites. Mny of these sites provide lecture slides, or recorded video lectures (e.g. Inititive #16), s well s informtion on guidelines nd policies (e.g. Inititive #35). Other types of orgniztion were engged in wide vriety of projects. Hospitls nd helthcre centers, for exmple, engged with umbrell progrms, courses nd workshops, intervention studies, nd resource guides. Most progrms trgeted HCWs s brodly defined group. Figure 3 shows the trget udiences for the 94 progrms identified. Severl progrms lso included components imed t ptients nd the public. We found 33 progrms imed t physicins, including smll number tht trgeted specilists such s infectious disese physicins nd peditricins. Fewer progrms specificlly trgeted nurses, phrmcists, nd midwives, though these groups were trgeted in the more generl HCW progrms. A smll number of predominntly Fig. 3 Number of identified AMR eduction progrms by trget helthcre worker group
Rogers Vn Ktwyk et l. Humn Resources for Helth (2018) 16:9 Pge 15 of 18 university-bsed progrms trgeted medicl or phrmcy students. Four progrms, mostly courses nd workshops, trgeted clinicl microbiologists longside other HCWs. We identified progrms from round the world, though, s expected, the progrms were uneqully distributed between countries nd regions, with lrger shre of the progrms from North Americ nd Europe. Figure 4 shows mp of the number of progrms identified from ech region. Mny of the lrge-scle AMR/ AMS eductionl cmpigns took plce in welthy Americn nd Europen countries (e.g. Inititives #15 nd #59), wheres mny of the progrms in Afric nd Asi were workshop or course bsed (e.g. Inititives #1, #78, #83). The interconnected nture of some progrms mde them more esily producible on the prt of the orgniztions nd more esily identifible on our prt s reserchers. This strtegy fcilitted the growth of progrmming in specific regions, nd hs mde online informtion bout AMR/AMS widely vilble to HCWs nd the public. For instnce, stte-specific AMR eductionl inititives, such s Get Smrt Colordo: Use Antibiotics Wisely (Inititive #17), ppered to tilor resources or shre/endorse existing resources from the comprehensive ntionl Get Smrt progrm (Inititive #15) produced by the CDC in the USA. Discussion Our environmentl scn shows tht mny orgniztions re working to develop nd shre course content nd eductionl resources for HCW trining nd continuing eduction round the world. We identified severl types of resources, from trditionl in-person courses to workshops nd conferences, to MOOCs, to online cmpign mterils, to hndbooks, nd to workbooks. Governments, hospitls, nd professionl societies pper to be driving ction on this front, nd these three types of orgniztion hve successfully built prtnerships with others including non-profits, insurnce compnies, nd WHO regionl offices. This level of collbortive work is promising; however, we hve identified opportunities for ction on severl fronts. First, there is n opportunity for the development of better resources nd trining opportunities for students in the helthcre professions. Erly enggement cn provide strong foundtion of AMR knowledge tht students drw upon s they progress through their creers s prescribers nd ptient eductors. Second, it ppers tht trining for current HCWs is probbly under-recognized by professionl development nd continuing eduction progrms. HCWs need to hve their AMR lerning efforts formlly recognized, s they my lck incentives to engge in substntil dditionl trining on purely volunteer bsis. Below we discuss how ddressing these two elements of trining, both pre-service nd continuing eduction, cn improve the content, delivery, uptke, nd scle-up of AMR/AMS eduction, nd identify progrms tht re interesting models for development of further resources. Pre-service student enggement We identified smll number resources for students in helthcre disciplines, though reserch suggests tht medicl students in Europe nd the USA hve desire for incresing trining on AMR [11, 12].
