Antibiotic prescribing and antimicrobial resistance: An evaluation of clinical teachers’ knowledge, attitude and practices at a South African dental school

The results reveal a range of knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to antibiotic prescribing and AMR awareness among clinical teachers, and indicate acceptable levels of knowledge and practice in various clinical scenarios, however certain identified prescribing practices may require targeted educational intervention. By strengthening antibiotic stewardship principles among clinical teachers, undergraduate prescribing practices can be further enhanced.

Abstract

The results reveal a range of knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to antibiotic prescribing and AMR awareness among clinical teachers, and indicate acceptable levels of knowledge and practice in various clinical scenarios, however certain identified prescribing practices may require targeted educational intervention. By strengthening antibiotic stewardship principles among clinical teachers, undergraduate prescribing practices can be further enhanced.
