Pathway of AMR for a laboratory professional in human health
This programme will be relaunched in May 2025. You have until the end of April to complete any modules or pathways that you are studying in order to gain the digital badge or Statement of Participation for your pathway.
This pathway is aimed at laboratory technicians or assistants, technologists and laboratory scientists in the human health sector. In the modules of this pathway you will learn about good laboratory practice and management, the OneHealth approach to tackling AMR, surveillance in AMR, and the processing, analysing and use of AMR data.
The following courses are in this pathway:
- AMR surveillance and you
- The problem of AMR
- Introducing AMR
- Isolating and identifying bacteria (human health)
- Antimicrobial susceptibility testing
- Testing for mechanisms of resistance
- Quality Assurance and AMR surveillance
- Introducing a One Health approach to AMR
- An introduction to AMR surveillance
- Introducing AMR surveillance systems
- Legal and ethical considerations in AMR
- Fundamentals of data for AMR
- Processing and analysing AMR data
You may study the courses in any order. Each course has a digital badge. If you complete all the courses and have enrolled on this pathway, you will receive a Statement of Participation, a printable statement that lists all the courses and badges in the pathway.
