Date & Time of Session - 2/13/26 - from 12:00 - 1:00PM

Overview
As β-lactam therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) becomes incorporated into clinical practice at UK, a clear understanding of its evidence base is essential. Emerging evidence demonstrates substantial interpatient variability in β-lactam exposure, particularly in critically ill patients. This session will summarize the literature and available clinical data regarding β-lactam TDM. The intent is to align practice with current evidence while promoting safe and effective antibiotic use. 

Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
1. Review the rationale for beta-lactam therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) 
2. Describe the evidence for establishment of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic efficacy and safety targets 
3. Evaluate literature and applicability of TDM to clinical practice 

    Target Audience
