Which antimicrobial stewardship interventions do pharmacy students resonate with the most?
Reflection responses demonstrated that pharmacy students do feel confident to intervene when antimicrobial prescribing is inappropriate, and resonate with their role being most impactful at the pre-prescribing time point, especially through clinical education. Further incorporation of content related to obtaining approval prior to prescribing restricted antimicrobials and de-labelling of allergies into the curriculum is encouraged, as these interventions were generally underrepresented by students.
