Antimicrobial Resistance

Welcome to the Antimicrobial Resistance Learning Site for Veterinary Science. These open-source teaching modules are designed for integration into existing veterinary school courses regarding pharmacology, microbiology, One Health, and species-specific medicine.

About This Site

Recognizing that a large proportion of antimicrobials is used for food animal production, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funded the development of the Antimicrobial Resistance Learning Site (AMRLS), which is a suite of educational materials aimed at teaching and promoting the prudent use of antimicrobial agents in veterinary practice.

Audience

Veterinary students, veterinarians, industry professionals, researchers, microbiologists, epidemiologists, and animal scientists.

Project Background

The Antimicrobial Resistance Learning Site was funded by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under the “Get Smart on the Farm” program. The first website was created by the College of Veterinary Medicine, Michigan State University, with contributions from the College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Minnesota. Suggestions for improvement regarding technical matters and content are welcomed and appreciated. Please send feedback to valla020@umn.edu.
