The AS and IPC curriculum development is a multidisciplinary endeavor of ID specialists and clinical pharmacists, infection preventionists, medical school course directors, and residency and fellowship training program directors. We also suggest collaborating with other institutions to benefit from their particular expertise. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing a comprehensive AS and IPC curriculum across a range of learners and environments. All strategies achieved intended short-term goals of addressing knowledge and training gaps, increasing confidence, and actively engaging participants. Evaluating the long-term impact of individual strategies as part of an integrated curriculum such as ours should be the focus of future study.
