"The threat of untreatable infections is real," says Dr. Arjun Srinivasan. As head of CDC's Get Smart for Healthcare program, Srinivasan aims to keep patients safer by eliminating health care-associated infections. Charting the path from dream to reality, Srinivasan advocates for everyone—from parents to farmers to doctors-- to "Get Smart" and understand when antibiotics work, and when they don't. A distinguished research scientist, Srinivasan also offers clear, crisp explanations of very real healthcare problems and the path toward solving them.
