We all know what antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) is, but implementation in the community pharmacy space is something that is still developing. This podcast episode will empower listeners to recognize that there are small things that they can do to improve AMS in the community setting. The episode will also discuss how the Centers of Disease Control's core elements of outpatient AMS apply to practitioners in a community pharmacy setting.
