207. Impact of Educational Interventions on Antibiotic Prescribing for Acute Upper Respiratory Tract Infections in the Ambulatory Care Setting

Our objective was to evaluate the impact of educational antimicrobial stewardship initiatives on the proportion of URI treated with antibiotics in a large, ambulatory setting that included Internal Medicine and Family Medicine clinics.
