A systematic review of antimicrobial stewardship education for undergraduate students in medicine, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, veterinary science and midwifery using COM-B framework
Undergraduate AMS education is widespread but uneven in its coverage, with emphasis on knowledge and limited attention to skills, opportunities and motivation. Applying COM-B highlights the need for curricula to combine knowledge with rehearsal, authentic resources, teamwork, identity development and positive engagement to prepare graduates for stewardship practice.
