The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) has updated its recommendations regarding SSTI diagnosis and management in June 2014. We assessed knowledge, attitude, and practices toward diagnosis and management of SSTIs using an online survey. We disseminated the survey to medical students, residents, and attending physicians practicing in family and internal medicine department at a university-based hospital. A total of 103 surveys were completed out of 121 sent (85.1%) between July 2015 and March 2016. There were nine medical questions in the survey. The mean of correct answers was 4.5\/9 \u00b1 2.0. Medical knowledge correlated with the level of education (P &lt; 0.001) but not with subspecialty (P = 0.97). Around 35% were familiar with the updated IDSA guidelines pertaining to SSTIs. The majority (85%) responded that the hospital staff would benefit from additional training and 75% agreed that more antibiotic stewardship education is needed. Our study shows that there are significant opportunities for development among students and physicians who encounter SSTIs.\n<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/ajm.ajm_200_17","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,11]],"date-time":"2018-07-11T05:31:35Z","timestamp":1531287095000},"page":"104-106","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Knowledge, attitude, and practices associated with the diagnosis and management of skin and soft-tissue infections among medical students, residents, and attending physicians"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Norman","family":"Beatty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jessica Anthony","family":"August","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joe","family":"Saenz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family and Community Medicine, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David E","family":"Nix","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy Practice and Science, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kathryn R","family":"Matthias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacy Practice and Science, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mayar Al","family":"Mohajer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1585","DOI":"10.1001\/archinte.168.14.1585","article-title":"National trends in ambulatory visits and antibiotic prescribing for skin and soft-tissue infections","volume":"168","author":"A L Hersh","year":"2008","journal-title":"Arch Intern Med"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1516","DOI":"10.3201\/eid1509.081228","article-title":"Trends in US hospital admissions for skin and soft tissue infections","volume":"15","author":"J Edelsberg","year":"2009","journal-title":"Emerg Infect Dis"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"895","DOI":"10.1086\/656431","article-title":"Skin and soft-tissue infections requiring hospitalization at an academic medical center: Opportunities for antimicrobial stewardship","volume":"51","author":"T C Jenkins","year":"2010","journal-title":"Clin Infect Dis"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1099","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjmed.2013.08.016","article-title":"Avoidable antibiotic exposure for uncomplicated skin and soft tissue infections in the ambulatory care setting","volume":"126","author":"H J Hurley","year":"2013","journal-title":"Am J Med"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"147","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/ciu444","article-title":"Practice guidelines for the diagnosis and management of skin and soft tissue infections: 2014 update by the Infectious Diseases Society of America","volume":"59","author":"D L Stevens","year":"2014","journal-title":"Clin Infect Dis"}],"container-title":["Avicenna Journal of Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.4103\/ajm.AJM_200_17.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,12]],"date-time":"2021-08-12T22:58:04Z","timestamp":1628809084000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.4103\/ajm.AJM_200_17"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018,7]]},"references-count":5,"journal-issue":{"issue":"03","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,12]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2018,7]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/ajm.ajm_200_17","archive":["Portico","CLOCKSS"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["2231-0770","2249-4464"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2231-0770","type":"print"},{"value":"2249-4464","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018,7]]}}}
