It is so difficult to stop the transmission of infections from surfaces, even in the hospital. Continuous hand washing and cleaning surfaces is one step that we can take to diminish the spread of infection. #PITT_id23

interesting to note the barriers posed by social determinants of health in other countries especially having to do with anti-microbial stewardship #PITT_ID23

this is the sort of situation where you need a pharmacist! Whether or not to wait can often make or break a patient case #PITT_ID23

when and what kind of antibiotic treatment is appropriate for each, unique patient? These are the sorts of questions pharmacists answer daily! #PITT_ID23

prescriptions for surgical prophylaxis come into the pharmacy daily, and protect patients from infection that could result from the surgery. Here is where antibiotic stewardship comes in to provide a second layer of protection against resistance. double protection! #PITT_ID23

as an asthma child myself, I can attest to chronic lung infections and hospitalizations. I wonder what story my genes tell in this regard... #PITT_ID23

never forget this legendary quote from my dad when I had a cold, "take some of my leftover antibiotics! They help boost your immune system and help get over your cold" He knows not to say nonsense to me now that Im in pharmacy school #PITT_ID23 #antibioticstewardship

The guidelines for COVID are constantly changing; as pharmacists, it's important to be up to date with the latest information from the CDC to best counsel our patients and decrease the spread of infection. #PITT_ID23
