2. Education of Future DVMs Are we adequately educating veterinary students regarding antimicrobial stewardship? “The emphasis on food safety aspects of antimicrobial use focuses on residue avoidance rather than resistance” “In all clinical teaching in Ruminant Farm Service in 4 th year, prudent antimicrobial use is deeply ingrained in discussion involving antimicrobials use; there is some discussion of AMR issues” “Pretty minimal and non-core; depends on interest areas of lecturer/rotation supervisor; no clear mandate exists on these areas”

3. Yes No Education of Future DVMs Prudent Antimicrobial Use Antimicrobial Resistance Health Canada Advisory Committee Report (2002; Can Vet J 2002; 43: 836-837) #38: “Encourage Canadian veterinary colleges and associations to ensure that preventative medicine, prudent use of antimicrobials and resistance are given high priority in veterinary undergraduate, post graduate and continuation education programs”. Yes No Yes No
