The study was conducted to provide suitable data about the junior and senior clinicians' level of knowledge, attitude, and practices with regards to antimicrobial usage as these students have a great impact on consequences associated with antimicrobial use. Specifically, the study aimed to identify the demographic and academic characteristics of the respondents and to describe the level of knowledge, attitude, and practices of the junior and senior clinicians in Cavite State University on antimicrobial usage. Moreover, the study was done to assess if there is a significant relation between sex and year level to the level of knowledge, attitude and practices of the students towards antimicrobial usage. The data were collected from the veterinary clinicians from Cavite State University from December 2021 to May 2022. The research was a descriptive cross-sectional study. A total of 101 fifth year to sixth year veterinary clinician students participated in answering the survey questionnaire conducted online using Google forms. A simple descriptive statistic was employed to generate and summarize percentages and proportions of the data. Spearman rank correlation was used to assess the significance of the relationship between the level of knowledge, attitude and practices on antimicrobial usage and student sex and year level. The results of the study showed that the students were highly knowledgeable, exhibited a very positive attitude and doing acceptable practices towards antimicrobial use. Moreover, only the year level is correlated with the level of knowledge on antimicrobial usage. The author recommends that further and relevant studies be conducted with face-to-face collection of data to encourage more valid responses. Likewise, additional aspects related antimicrobial stewardship may be incorporated to provide in-depth analysis of the topic.
