PIDS-SHARPS are monthly webinars on pediatric antimicrobial stewardship topics. The webinars will host speakers who will share their experience with antimicrobial stewardship, for inpatient and outpatient settings, as well as diagnostic stewardship. The hope is that we will all learn from their experiences, their innovations, and their challenges.
