Registration Open for the Next AMR Exchange!

New AMR Exchange Webinar called Addressing Health Inequities by Strengthening Antibiotic Stewardship. Event held October 25, 2022, 10 – 11:30 A.M. EDT.

Be Part of the Discussion

Join us Tuesday, October 25, 2022, at 10 a.m. EDT for the next AMR Exchange webinar on how CDC is addressing health inequities by strengthening antibiotic stewardship. We’ll be joined by experts from CDC, The Pew Charitable Trusts, Federal Office of Rural Health Policy, and Emory University School of Medicine who work tirelessly to improve antibiotic prescribing and use, and to ensure equitable health care for all. 

Register now for the fifth session of the AMR Exchange Series webinar with experts discussing antifungal resistance and its impact on public health.

Health disparities are closely linked with social, economic, and/or environmental disadvantages, or other characteristics historically linked to discrimination or exclusion.


These disparities can be created or exacerbated in areas with fewer resources to allocate to antibiotic stewardship activities, increasing the likelihood of developing side effects or adverse events, such as Clostridioides difficile infection, and contributing to antimicrobial resistance.


Register today to hear how CDC is working to improve quality of care and equity in healthcare settings and communities across the United States through antibiotic stewardship.


Moderator: Arjun Srinivasan, Deputy Director, Program Improvement, Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; Panelists: Lauri Hicks, Director, Office of Antibiotic Stewardship, Division of Healthcare Quality and Promotion, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; David Hyun, Project Coordinator, Antibiotic Resistance Project, The Pew Charitable Trust; Natalia Vargas, Medicare Beneficiary Quality Improvement Program Lead, Federal Office of Rural Health Policy, Health Resources and Services Administration; Zanthia Wiley, Associate Professor of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases, Emory School of Medicine
