Fellowship in Antimicrobial Stewardship

Contact the fellowship program director, Michael Veve <[email protected]> to schedule a casual discussion about the program!

Overview. Pharmacists completing the ID pharmacy fellowship in antimicrobial stewardship will gain experience in developing research questions, designing protocols and interventions, managing and analyzing quantitative data, and publishing research findings.  Further, they will learn to develop, implement, and assess multidisciplinary antimicrobial stewardship interventions on a system-wide level for inpatient and ambulatory settings.  They will be skilled in educating other health care professionals, students, and patients, and will exemplify professionalism both in philosophy and by example.  Upon completion of the program, fellows will lead independent scientific investigation to the improvement of infectious diseases pharmacy practice.  The ideal candidate will be interested in academic infectious diseases and public health faculty positions or adapting practice-based antimicrobial stewardship research into their clinical practice upon graduation.

This program is jointly offered through the Department of Pharmacy Services at Henry Ford Hospital and the Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences at Wayne State University.  The two-year fellowship program recruits one position each year.
