2025 Nebraska Antimicrobial Stewardship Summit

This summit is designed for health care professionals committed to advancing antimicrobial stewardship through evidence-based strategies. This summit will address key challenges and provide insights on antimicrobial practices, fostering facility-wide engagement, and improving patient outcomes.

The summit will feature a general session open to all attendees. In addition, a special track—Long-Term Care (LTC) Fundamentals in Antibiotic Stewardship—will be offered for those specifically interested in this focus area. Please indicate whether you plan to attend the general session or the LTC track during registration.

The summit is an excellent opportunity to collaborate with peers in advancing the critical work of antimicrobial stewardship in health care.
