Advancing Interprofessional Education for Antimicrobial Resistance Through a One Health Lens: An Expert Meeting

In progress

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens global health, food security, and modern medicine, yet education and training efforts remain fragmented across sectors. Recognizing this gap, the National Academy of Medicine and the Forum on Microbial Threats will convene experts to identify practical strategies for integrating AMR education across sectors, disciplines, and career stages.

Description

The National Academy of Medicine in collaboration with the Forum on Microbial Threats will organize an expert meeting to consider collaborative opportunities for establishing a framework to improve the training of medical, veterinary, agricultural, and environmental professionals with respect to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Meeting participants will have the opportunity to explore practical approaches that can be applied across the learning continuum, from undergraduate to continuing professional development using an interdisciplinary lens that recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, plant and environmental health.
The expert meeting will be an opportunity for people working across sectors and disciplines to share perspectives on:

  • Overcoming Barriers to Implementation: Share practical approaches for addressing key gaps and barriers that limit the implementation of interprofessional AMR education across sectors and professions.
  • Scaling Solutions: Explore how interprofessional, cross-sectoral education can be scaled to support an interprofessional approach to AMR through shared competencies, values, and practice-based learning across different career paths.
  • Catalyzing Collaboration: Bring together key sectors - including academia, civil society, industry, public and global health - to build support for collaboration and implementation.
  • Laying a Foundation for Action: Consider practical next steps for implementing cross-sector interprofessional education at scale across health sciences sectors, setting the stage for future curriculum design, consensus studies, or implementation pilots.
