Arkansas Summit for Antimicrobial Stewardship

Arkansas Summit for Antimicrobial Stewardship aims to address the issue of antibiotic resistance while providing strategies on how to combat resistance and effectively manage antimicrobial therapy. The inaugural summit was held in 2019 on the campus of Baptist Health Medical Center in Little Rock, AR, with over 250 attendees.  Due to Covid-19, repeat summit events have not been possible until now.  This year, the summit is delighted to host keynote speakers: Francesca Lee, MD and Meghan Jeffres PharmD. Join your healthcare colleagues from all over Arkansas at this exciting event! There will be a social mixer at Copper Grill on October 27th. If you would like to attend, please select the registration option for the social mixer at checkout (more event details will be emailed to you upon registration).
