Received Date:16 March 2024, Accepted Date:24 March 2024, Published Date:16 July 2024

Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as one of the most imperative global health challenges of our time. The overuse and misuse of antibiotics have expedited the development of resistant pathogens, rendering once-effective treatments ineffective. In the battle against antimicrobial resistance (AMR), medical institutions hold significant influence and responsibility in fostering a culture of stewardship, innovation, and collaboration. Medical colleges can facilitate a holistic approach to AMR prevention that leverages the expertise of multiple disciplines between medical, pharmacy, nursing, and public health programs. In this circumstance, medical colleges have a pivotal role to play in stemming the tide of AMR through education, research, and advocacy.
