Overview

Cross-sectional study shows knowledge gaps in antibiotic use among medical students, highlighting need for better training.

Key Points

  • Students demonstrated strong theoretical knowledge of antimicrobial resistance, yet low confidence in practices associated with antibiotic use.
  • Only 47.6% of students received formal antimicrobial resistance training, with 16.8% engaging in antimicrobial stewardship programs.
  • The cross-sectional survey involved 500 undergraduate medical students assessing their knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding antibiotics.
  • Curricular reforms are crucial to enhance engagement in antimicrobial stewardship and address the knowledge-practice gap.
