Antimicrobial Stewardship Series: Intra-Abdominal Infections

This webinar series with Dr. Ben Westley will provide 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. The A2SC is a partnership of hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and other healthcare providers dedicated to developing innovative strategies to ensure appropriate antibiotic use.

Dr. Benjamin Westley is board certified in Pediatrics and Adult Infectious Diseases. He is a Fellow of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, and member of the HIV Medical Association. Dr. Westley is known across Alaska as a​ great resource in infectious disease.
