Abstract
<jats:p>Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a complex and rapidly evolving global health challenge that requires well-trained professionals within a One Health framework. However, AMR education remains fragmented, with limited interdisciplinary integration and inconsistencies across disciplines. Although AMR is included in undergraduate and postgraduate curricula in human medicine, veterinary medicine, biological sciences, and pharmacology, the educational focus differs substantially between fields. Moreover, teaching focuses on biomedical and pharmacological aspects, while social, behavioural, and policy dimensions are often underrepresented, limiting the ability to address AMR as a multifaceted societal challenge. To identify gaps in AMR teaching, associated challenges and unmet educational resource needs, we conducted a three-month international survey among professionals from diverse scientific fields involved in AMR teaching. A total of 85 professionals participated in the survey, of whom 94% were actively involved in AMR teaching. AMR was most often taught within microbiology (35%) or health-related (33%) courses and was typically presented as few lectures within a module (33%). Although the general perception was that engaging teaching approaches, such as case-based learning, better support effective learning, many participants (31%) reported relying primarily on traditional lecture-based materials. Furthermore, the survey identified limited curriculum time, behavioural barriers, and funding constraints as the principle challenges to effective education. Overall, these findings indicate a strong demand for additional teaching resources, particularly interactive and application-oriented materials that support active learning and interdisciplinary education. This knowledge will support the development of an open educational resource (OER)-based interactive online educational platform, designed to enhance AMR education within a One Health context and support the training of future health professionals.</jats:p>
