Get Smart About Antibiotics Week 2016

This year, AHA is participating organization-wide in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC's) "Get Smart About Antibiotics Week" from Nov. 14-20. The goal of the CDC campaign is to move the needle on antibiotic resistance, improving patient safety and preserving the power of antibiotics. Please use the hashtag #AntibioticSmart in your posts during the week and the hashtag #AntibioticResistance if you participate in the Nov. 18 twitter chat. Feel free to contact Jennifer Schleman (jschleman@aha.org) or Emily Gustafson (egustafson@aha.org) with any questions.

The CDC will be hosting a global #AntibioticResistance Twitter chat on Friday, November 18, from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. EST. If you plan to join the Twitter chat, please let Jennifer Schleman know, and she will provide the list of topics and questions CDC has planned for the chat.
