Early or partial results. Treat as a signal, not a conclusion.
This is a descriptive account of the design, rollout, and perceived uptake of a gamified antimicrobial stewardship curriculum across 11 hospitals. The source reports implementation tactics and postimplementation feedback but does not provide quantified measures of pharmacist competency gains, clinical outcomes, or comparison with alternative training approaches.
Descriptive implementation report. Frontline clinical pharmacists in inpatient settings across a diverse 11-hospital health system; specific inclusion/exclusion criteria and total number of participants not stated..

Curriculum implemented across 11-hospital health system to standardize antimicrobial stewardship competency. Core modules incorporated gamified elements, case-based activities, knowledge checks, and visual learning aids. Implementation strategies included system-wide automatic assignment, targeted onboarding for new hires, and strategic reminders.

PURPOSE: The creation and implementation of a system-wide frontline pharmacist antimicrobial stewardship (AS) competency curriculum are explained. SUMMARY: Pharmacists are present throughout hospital environments and frequently play a pivotal role in optimizing infection management. However, frontline clinical pharmacists working across inpatient settings vary greatly in terms of training, expertise, years of experience, and background as they relate to infectious diseases (ID) and AS. Establishing a uniform level of ID and AS competency among pharmacists across all hospital departments and shifts is essential to optimizing the effectiveness of antimicrobial stewardship programs. Across a diverse 11-hospital health system, an innovative curriculum, "The Antimicrobial Resistance Fighter Curriculum," was implemented to help standardize care for patients with infections. Core modules incorporated gamified elements, case-based activities, knowledge checks, and visual learning aids. Tactics included system-wide automatic assignment, targeted onboarding for new hires, and strategic use of reminders to ensure completion. Annual feedback cycles and postimplementation surveys guided iterative improvements and module updates, focusing on engagement, efficiency, and practical application. CONCLUSION: An innovative, interactive curriculum successfully standardized AS competency across a diverse health system. Key implementation strategies including system leadership buy-in, modular design, interactive learning, and responsive updates enabled efficient dissemination, high engagement, and improvement of pharmacist competence in applying knowledge of AS topics to patient care.
