Objectives: This manuscript reviews the current state of veterinary medical electronic health records and the ability to aggregate and analyze large datasets from multiple organizations and clinics. We also review analytical techniques as well as research efforts into veterinary informatics with a focus on applications relevant to human and animal medicine. Our goal is to provide references and context for these resources so that researchers can identify resources of interest and translational opportunities to advance the field.

- A curriculum on antimicrobial stewardship (AS) and infection prevention and control (IPC) was created to cater to various learning styles at a medical center, incorporating case-based modules, group activities, and smartphone apps.
- Between 2012 and 2016, over 180 medical students participated, showing increased confidence in prescribing antibiotics and identifying protective equipment, with 69% preferring the app for antibiotic info.
- The curriculum led to a 20% increase in appropriate antibiotic prescriptions and nearly all infectious disease fellows deemed the seminars essential for their training, with future studies planned to assess the long-term effects.
