Overview

NC State’s Antimicrobial Stewardship Committee is charged to develop policies, provide guidance, and develop training which sustain the health and safety of our patients and employees through monitoring and preventing the spread of infectious and zoonotic agents and promoting antimicrobial stewardship. The committee has a mandate for these activities across whole college, including clinical, teaching and research operations. The Committee reports to the Associate Dean & Director of Veterinary Medical Services, with a secondary reporting responsibility to the Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies, and the Associate Dean and Director of Academic Affairs as appropriate.
