We provide infectious diseases education to clinical teams and individual clinicians, create facility-specific resources for evidence-based treatment pathways of many infectious diseases indications, and offer antimicrobial stewardship/infectious diseases expertise to all facilities at Baptist Health, including outpatient facilities.
