Abstract:

Among 37 internal-medicine resident physicians assigned to our outpatient clinic at Minneapolis Veterans'' Affairs Health Care System (MVAHCS) on July 1, 2017, we designed a pre- and postintervention observational study. Our results show that in-person academic detailing around outpatient antimicrobial selection was associated with a decrease in outpatient antimicrobial prescriptions in a group of high-prescribing resident physicians.
