COURSE OBJECTIVES
This course will introduce students with important clinical concepts in the medical field of infectious diseases. microbial diagnosis, etiology, epidemiology (transmission, susceptibility, patterns). pathogenesis (how the organisms cause disease), symptoms, prevention, vaccination, treatment (drug or other treatment options) and complications (spectrum of disease, other complications of infection).
