Scott Fridkin
Overview
Professor of Medicine, Department of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases, and Epidemiology (Joint), Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University. As Director, Antibiotic Stewardship Research for Emory Healthcare, responsible for harmonization of stewardship efforts across Emory Healthcare, and promoting antibiotic resistance prevention research to improve patient safety among interconnected facilities in the greater Atlanta area.
My primary clinical/scholarly focus is preventing healthcare-associated antibiotic resistant infections and improving antibiotic prescribing among healthcare providers, through novel techniques and collaborations involving public health academic partnerships and regional partners such as nursing homes. Recent work has focused on improving metrics of antibiotic resistance surveillance, improving the use of surveillance data for action, and improving the sharing of information between healthcare facilities to reduce transmission of antibiotic resistant infections.
