The first ESCMID Foundation AMS Certificate - Latin America programme will launch in August 2025. This programme is an adaptation of the renowned ESCMID European AMS Certificate and marks a significant milestone as it is the first edition specifically designed for Latin America, made possible through the ESCMID-SLIPE alliance.
This two-year programme offers tailored modules that address current and emerging topics in the field of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases of Antimicrobial Stewardship. It also aims to foster knowledge-sharing and provide early-career participants with exposure to international clinical settings. The programme modules are available either online or at various onsite locations across Latin America.
Submitting an application for the course does not guarantee a place on the Programme. Enrollment is limited, and all applications will be reviewed by the Core Coordinators as part of a thorough selection process. Due to limited availability, grant recipients will also be selected based on this process.
Regular applications open until 28 March 2025
Grant applications open until 28 February 2025
You are invited to choose 4 Electives from the list below.

The tuition fee for the entire programme, which includes 10 modules (1 Basic module, 5 Advanced modules, and 4 Elective modules), is €2500 for ESCMID members and €2700 for non ESCMID members. Accommodation and travel costs are not included in the fee.
