• Mentorship: Participants highlighted the value of formalizing mentorship pathways within the network, particularly by connecting early-career researchers and professionals with experienced mentors across sectors. Suggestions included long-term mentoring structures, mentor directories, and support for peer-based mentorship frameworks.

• Partnership: There was strong consensus on the need to build and strengthen intersectoral partnerships. Participants emphasized leveraging existing collaborations formed during the COVID-19 pandemic, promoting open data sharing, and aligning CAN-AMR-Net activities with ongoing provincial and national initiatives.

• Training Development: Discussions focused on the design of inclusive, hands-on training opportunities that reflect the complexity of AMR challenges. Ideas included interdisciplinary case studies, real-world policy simulations, and trainee engagement in cross-sector projects. Ensuring equity and accessibility in training delivery was also identified as a top priority.

These collaborative discussions have laid the groundwork for action plans that will guide the network’s next phase of development.

We thank all participants for their time, insight, and continued commitment to building a coordinated and impactful AMR response in Canada.
