The Antimicrobial Stewardship Collaborative of South Carolina, or ASC-SC, is a partnership between the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, the University of South Carolina College of Pharmacy, and DPH. This partnership works towards improving appropriate antimicrobial prescribing in any healthcare setting in the state. The term antimicrobial prescribing is the practice of giving patients medication, such as antibiotics, to kill bacteria or other germs that can cause disease.
