In human medicine, [antimicrobial stewardship programs](https://www.ahrq.gov/topics/antimicrobial-stewardship.html) are required in U.S. hospitals to ensure that we’re using antibiotics wisely. It’s only one part of the picture, but often pharmacists will consult with the rest of the team if they’re not sure if an antibiotic is really needed.
