Competency-based training modules for antimicrobial stewardship and infection prevention in veterinary and veterinary nursing curricula

提高对兽医抗菌药物管理和感染控制原则的理解和实践 医学是一种迫切的健康需求。这个项目将更充分地纳入学习抗菌的关键概念 将管理和感染控制纳入兽医和兽医护理课程。多学科小组 包括两名寄宿兽医临床微生物学家，一名寄宿兽医护士（也是兽医药剂师）， 寄宿小动物内科专家（传染病/感染控制方面的专门知识）和兽医 流行病学家（教育流行病学和成果评估方面的专业知识）。该团队得到了 学术事务副院长，并将利用信息技术教学设计师的专业知识 部门 该项目建议开发互动学习模块和基于成果的评估，以改善 学生对抗菌药物管理和感染控制和预防原则的理解 在普渡大学兽医学和兽医护理课程的临床前几年。模块将 整合到多个临床前课程的现有课程中。美国兽医学院协会 基于能力的工作组指出，以学习者为中心的教育和评估经验， 例如这里提出的那些，有利于学生的学习，教师的教学，并通过帮助提供专业， 兽医毕业生谁更可靠地掌握了战略确定的能力。 项目时间轴包括两年。第一年的工作包括制定以下领域的学习里程碑： 抗菌药物管理和感染控制与预防，以及基于结果的模块开发 评估，以促进学生达到这些里程碑。第一年还包括开展调查， 学生对所教概念的理解;调查将用于比较学生完成 将模块整合到临床前课程之前和之后的课程。在第二年，模块将被整合到 选定的临床前课程，调查评估学生的理解将管理和结果分析。 这种方法有望提高学生对抗菌药物管理中关键概念的学习和理解 和感染控制。我们希望通过在兽医医学教育杂志上发表来分享结果。 我们将创建不仅可用于兽医课程，而且可用于培训和继续的模块 兽医从业人员的教育。我们希望向合作伙伴提供已完成的模块， 专业，以支持他们发展个人抗菌管理计划和感染预防 针对其独特情况制定的协议和流程。

Improved understanding and practice of principles of antimicrobial stewardship and infection control in veterinary medicine are urgent One Health needs. This project will more fully incorporate learning key concepts of antimicrobial stewardship and infection control into veterinary medical and veterinary nursing curricula. The multidisciplinary team includes two boarded veterinary clinical microbiologists, a boarded veterinary nurse (also a veterinary pharmacist), a boarded small animal internal medicine specialist (expertise in infectious disease/infection control), and a veterinary epidemiologist (expertise in educational epidemiology and outcomes assessment). The team has the support of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, and will utilize expertise of instructional designers in the Information Technology department. The project proposes development of interactive learning modules and outcomes-based assessments to improve students’ understanding of principles of antimicrobial stewardship and infection control and prevention for students in all preclinical years of the veterinary medicine and veterinary nursing programs at Purdue University. Modules will be integrated into existing lessons in multiple preclinical courses. The American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges Competency-Based Working Group has stated that educational and assessment experiences that are learner-centered, such as those proposed here, benefit student learning, faculty teaching, and the profession by helping to provide veterinary graduates who have more reliably mastered strategically identified competencies. The project timeline includes two years. Year one work includes development of milestones for learning in the areas of antimicrobial stewardship and infection control and prevention, and development of modules with outcomes-based assessments to facilitate students reaching those milestones. Year one also includes development of surveys to assess student understanding of the concepts taught; surveys will be used to compare the understanding of students completing courses before and after integration of the modules into preclinical courses. In year two, modules will be integrated into selected preclinical courses, surveys assessing student understanding will be administered and results analyzed. This approach is expected to improve student learning and understanding of the key concepts in antimicrobial stewardship and infection control. We anticipate sharing the results through publication in the Journal of Veterinary Medical Education. We will create modules that can be used not only in veterinary medical curricula, but also for training and continuing education of veterinary practice personnel. We expect to provide access to completed modules to partners in the profession to support their development of individual antimicrobial stewardship programs and infection prevention protocols and processes tailored to their unique situations.
