Health Literacy and Antimicrobial Stewardship with Dr. Elizabeth Hermsen

Listen to our conversation with Elizabeth Hermsen, PharmD, MBA, Head of Global Antimicrobial Stewardship at Merck. We discuss antimicrobial stewardship gaps in the outpatient setting, where one third of prescriptions for antimicrobials are inappropriate. We also discuss the importance of health literacy, and how improving health literacy may be used as an approach to address antimicrobial resistance.
