Outcomes of an ambulatory care pharmacist-led antimicrobial stewardship program within a family medicine resident clinic.

Objective: To determine whether an ambulatory care pharmacist (AMCP)-led intervention improved outpatient antibiotic prescribing in a family medicine residency clinic (FMRC) for upper respiratory tract infections (URIs), urinary tract infections (UTIs), and skin and soft-tissue infections (SSTIs).

Design: Retrospective, quasi-experimental study comparing guideline-concordant antibiotic prescribing before and after an antimicrobial stewardship program (ASP) intervention.

Setting: Family medicine residency clinic affiliated with a community teaching hospital.
