The Sinai Health System-University Health Network Antimicrobial Stewardship Program (SHS-UHN ASP) is the oldest and largest ASP in Canada, and has a wealth of experience in teaching antimicrobial stewardship to a variety of health professions, having run national and international antimicrobial stewardship courses. SHS-UHN ASP Team members include physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and project and research support teams. Many members are national leaders in the field.
The SHS-UHN ASP Fellowship is a 1-2 year clinical and research fellowship for infectious diseases specialists, medical microbiologists, and general internists planning on leading an antimicrobial stewardship program. Fellows will gain clinical knowledge and experience around important antimicrobial stewardship interventions such as prospective audit-and-feedback, algorithm and guideline development, order sets, digital decision support, and education. Additionally, fellows will gain a first-hand understanding of quality improvement and knowledge translation, using these principles in implementing their own project within one or more hospitals. Fellows will also participate in regional, provincial, national, and international antimicrobial stewardship initiatives.
