Challenges faced by Jordanian veterinarians with respect to tackling AMR. *. Note. This bar chart shows the importance of each challenge, wherein 1 is not important; 2 is somewhat important; 3 is important; and 4 is very important. Challenge number 1 is the misuse and overuse of antimicrobials by unqualified practitioners, fraudulent and unauthorized veterinarians, contributing to the evolving AMR issue in Jordan. Challenge number 2 is the socioeconomic status of customers (e.g., farmers, owners) in Jordan. Challenge number 3 is the effect of Jordanian society's view of veterinarians in terms of influencing veterinarians’ role in addressing the problem of antibiotic resistance. Challenge number 4 is the lack of satisfactory knowledge, competence, and practices of Jordanian veterinarians in the field of using antimicrobial alternatives. * Statements of the challenges were formed with the assistance of two veterinarians (Rana Alshamali and Amjad Awawded)
