Berg en Dal, The Netherlands, 13-17 June 2022

Some reflections of the participants in 2022 on their learnings:

• "Excellent course!"
• "Lovely course, I have learned so much. I really enjoyed workshops and I think they are very useful."
• "To understand the process of AMS: how we first have to measure to improve, to look at the determinants and how we can improve them BEFORE thinking about the exact plan"
• "Extremely inspiring, all the speakers were very approachable and really helpful."
• "Very high scientific quality, availability of the faculty, interaction with other students from different settings and background."
• "Quality is very high, just go on! I hope that these standards will be garanteed also in the other parts of the programme."
• "Grateful to be able to have the opportunity to attend the course!"
• "Incredibly useful course that empowers us to tackle one of the most important aspects of patient care!"

Nijmegen, The Netherlands, 23-28 May 2019

Some reflections of the participants in 2019 on their learnings:

• "This course was probably the most valuable professional experience in the field of AMS that I have had so far."
• “The essence of AMS, tools to implement it, measure it, make behavioral changes, use strategies to make it work. In total this course made our vision more clear and gave us directions where to focus in order to achieve small steps but certain ones.”
• “The course materials (theoretical backgrounds, methods, experiences, success stories, and motivations, etc..) are very helpful to start with a small AS project which will grow to be a national program.”
• “I don't need to have enormous resources to initiate different antimicrobial activities. In most of lower income countries, we lack some of the basics to tackle the development of resistance or to prevent irrational use of antibiotics. This course opens your eyes and show you alternatives in your real context.”
• “This course was probably the most valuable professional experience in the field of AMS that I have had so far.”
• “Great insight into different challenges facing different countries are facing with respect to resistance and implementing AMS programs. Some great contacts made and a useful resource to share content across countries.”

Cairo, Egypt, 6-9 October 2021

Some reflections of the participants in the Cairo course on their learnings:

• “I would like to thank everyone who contributed and participated in the success of this course,  it exceeded my expectations I was really  happy that even with having experience in ASP, I learned a lot from the course, thanks again”
• “My experience was great because I was able to interact with different cultures and learnt how others do it in their country”
• “This session gave me the opportunity to learn how to assess the barriers and facilitators so that an intervention can be deduced”
• “Take home is that AMS is an essential thing to establish in my country and hospital.”
• “I learned how to analayze any problem in a systemetic way, identifying the barriers & how to overcome them. This was also the 1st time an ASP focuses on implementation science and how to address behaviour.”

Kochi, India, 25-28 November 2021

Some reflections of the participants in the Kochi course on their learnings:

• “It was a great experience. Got a lot of clarity on how to go about on an AMS program. Thank you so much to the MIDAS team and Aster faculty for such a wonderful platform of learning, discussion and interaction.”
• “This should not be a one off thing ... the group who attended this workshop should be involved in further activities, so that it's not all lost especially for people who do not have a robust system...”
• “Quality analysis of AMS was new to me, something I need to explore more”
• “We already know our problems.. but to systematically analyse it was a new experience”
• "The method of helping us to identify a problem and then teaching through it was extremely useful to help us to relate to the teaching materials”
• “We were motivated by the passion you all share for such a social cause. The methodology of the course was excellent and the whole atmosphere was friendly and cordial. Thank you”
