Abstract
To the Editor—We devised and performed a voluntary, anonymous online survey of the 545 residents and fellows in our housestaff training programs in 2007 to determine whether they were aware of cumulative antimicrobial susceptibility data on our hospital intranet and if this or similar data was used in clinical decision making.Keywords
