Abstract

The impact of an appropriate use of antibiotics on the prevention of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been demonstrated. Surveys have shown, however, that medical students do not feel sufficiently trained to use antibiotics wisely. The aims of our study were (1) to describe what medical students currently know about appropriate antibiotic use, and (2) to identify students' learning preferences as a basis for developing student-centred teaching modules to convey the basics of AMR prevention.
