PMMD 8119 Advanced Immunology and Microbiology

The Attack and Defense module is an integrated look at microbiology, immunology, and infectious disease including public and international health issues. Students are prepared for clinical encounters requiring diagnosis, treatment, and preventive measures for immunological conditions and disorders and infectious diseases by fostering critical thinking skills. The learning environment promotes professional identity formation, effective communication skills, and professionalism. Students acquire a broad understanding of normal and abnormal immune system function through active, collaborative learning activities and will consider the impact of culture on public health. These activities include small group case-based self-directed learning and team-based learning in combination with laboratories, observation of patient interviews, online tutorials and interactive, personalized, adaptive instruction and self-study. Assessments include discrete point formative and summative activities and exams, simulations, laboratory activities and reports, observation during interprofessional rounds and self- assessment.
