A post-prescription review and feedback program was implemented as an antimicrobial stewardship intervention in Lebanon as the country grappled with complete economic collapse, the COVID-19 pandemic, and a large blast in Beirut. We describe the implications of antimicrobial use in disaster preparedness and crisis situations, the sequelae related to increasing antimicrobial resistance, and our lessons learned in Lebanon. We explore opportunities and potential solutions for future disaster preparedness.

Background: Student integration into clinical pharmacy services during Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experiences (APPEs) is helpful for both student learning and patient care. Identifying how to integrate students into clinical pharmacy services during APPEs is likely to be site-specific, depending on the pharmacy department's service emphasis and capacity in the particular health care setting.
Objective: To identify elements of rotation implementation that facilitated pharmacy students' learning and integration into hospital clinical pharmacy services during a Collaborative Health Care (CHC) setting APPE.

Introduction: The persistent disparities in the field of obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN) have become increasingly visible in the public eye, while at the same time public discourse regarding the appropriateness and efficacy of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) education has become increasingly politically polarized.
Background: While it has long been accepted that DEI training is an essential component of curricula offered in academic OBGYN departments, there remains a great deal of uncertainty regarding the best practices for developing and provisioning such training.
Methods: In this article, the authors outline lessons learned from the process of developing an evidence-based department-wide needs assessment in order to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of members of a large academic OBGYN department, including an evaluation of the impact of prior DEI educational programming.

Aim: Patient reported outcomes (PROs) can help to evaluate gaps and areas for improvement along the HIV care continuum. We sought to describe the methodology and processes of a PROs study within the DC Cohort study population, describe the PROs results to date, report on lessons learned, and describe future directions of the research.
Subject And Methods: Each study site recruited participants from the DC Cohort, a longitudinal study on people with HIV, to complete the electronic PROs baseline and annual follow-up surveys, which consisted of previously validated measures of social determinants of health, mental health, substance use, medication adherence, and other related measures.

Since its discovery in the late 18th Century, the role of vaccination in preventing death and disease has expanded across many infectious diseases and cancer. Key to our understanding of vaccine immunogenicity and efficacy is knowledge of the immune system itself. Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEI) represent a heterogeneous group of disorders characterised by impaired function of the immune system.

Background: Formal mentoring within the nursing profession has been recognized as an effective approach in teaching critical thinking, leadership skills, communication, and professional socialization. Unfortunately, few baccalaureate nursing programs teach skills specific to mentoring, both as mentees and mentors within a formalized program.
Methods: A peer mentoring program with senior students mentoring sophomore students was developed based on Benner's (1984) novice-to-expert theory during the COVID-19 pandemic.
