Discover a more accurate, more targeted way to tackle AMR
There’s a major lack of awareness about how diagnostics can help us to address the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance.

By the end of your study, you’ll possess a broader awareness of AMR and what causes it. You’ll have a detailed understanding of how diagnostics can be used in prevention, and the targeted use of antibiotics in treatment.
The course content is available in English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, and Chinese.
