In this free webinar, Tony Lai, Senior Pharmacist, Antimicrobial Stewardship/Infectious Diseases, at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, Australia makes the case for AUC-guided therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of aminoglycosides.
Join us on September 19 at 8pm ET/September 20 at 10am AEST to gain insight into the key benefits of AUC-guided TDM for gentamicin, tobramycin, and amikacin.
Hear Tony Lai’s first-hand experiences implementing AUC dosing and learn his top tips for making your own business case.
Plus, he’ll share new study results of how his hospital improved dosing accuracy, reduced AKIs, and cut the number of labs in half in a pediatric population.
After the presentation, Sharmeen Roy will join Tony Lai to take live questions from the audience.
