ALASKA ANTIMICROBIAL
STEWARDSHIP COLLABORATIVE

a2sc.jpg

The Alaska Antimicrobial Stewardship Collaborative is an active partnership of acute care and long-term care facilities dedicated to developing innovative strategies to ensure appropriate antibiotic use. A2SC’s goal is a simple one: all patients in Alaska will receive the right antibiotic at the right time and only when necessary. Together we will accelerate positive changes to achieve this critical goal.

​

Over the past few years the A2SC Advisory Group has put together three specific guidelines for Alaska physicians and pharmacists to ensure patients receive the right antibiotic at the right time and only when necessary. They can be downloaded below.

Antimicrobial Stewardship Webinar Series - 2025

This webinar series with Dr. Ben Westley provides updated stewardship information targeted to physicians, pharmacists, infection preventionists, and other members of an antimicrobial stewardship team. Information is geared specifically to the practice needs of Alaska providers and facilities and to provide support for complex clinical cases that have become more common due to antibiotic resistance. The webinars are sponsored by the Alaska Antimicrobial Stewardship Collaborative (A2SC) and funded through the State of Alaska Department of Health.
