Stewardship begins with us
The 2024 Western Canadian One Health Antimicrobial Stewardship Conference aims to facilitate information exchange on antimicrobial stewardship between human and animal health practitioners, researchers, agriculture and government stakeholders, policy- and decision- makers, and industry members.
