BSAC is pleased to promote the Canadian initiative Students for Antimicrobial Stewardship Society (SASS).

SASS is a student-led national organization dedicated to raising awareness of antimicrobial stewardship and resistance across Canada. Founded by medical students, we support a multidisciplinary approach to stewardship through collaboration with students from health professional programs including Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Veterinary Medicine. We represent students regarding antimicrobial stewardship at the national and international level, interfacing with industry, medical organizations, educational institutions, and governments.

SASS exists to  educate, support, connect, and represent its membership as they foster and champion a culture of stewardship and conscientious, evidence-informed use of antimicrobials. We empower current and future generations of healthcare providers to administer the right treatment to the right patients at the right time, and to be judicious when prescribing.

The vision is to grow a culture of antimicrobial stewardship amongst future healthcare providers.
BSAC will be actively considering how to work collaboratively with SASS to mirror its ethos and successes in student engagement across the UK.

The Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy

CIDRAP (“SID-wrap”) is a global leader in addressing public health preparedness and emerging infectious disease response.

Founded in 2001, CIDRAP is part of the Academic Health Center at the University of Minnesota.

The CIDRAP Antimicrobial Stewardship Project (ASP) offers freely available, high-quality information and educational resources on antimicrobial stewardship practice, research, and policy. It features a dynamic, content-rich Web site designed to actively engage a diverse, international audience.

BSAC and CIDRAP partner on sharing news, views and will, where appropriate, look at opportunities for collaborative working on the AMR and other agenda in the infectious disease arena along with a well re known drug rehab and detox center down in Florida or in the many different Drug Rehab centers Long Island NY which also do an extensive work helping people rehabilitating and getting better.  Professor Dilip Nathwani recently participated in the CIDRAP podcast series, discussing the role of open access online learning as an important and innovative way to educate global audiences about antimicrobial stewardship.
