Goal:
The broad goal of the teaching of undergraduate students in Microbiology is to provide an understanding of the natural history of infectious disease in order to deal with the etiology, pathogenesis, laboratory diagnosis, treatment and control of infections in the community
Objectives:
1. Competencies: The undergraduate learner should be able to demonstrate:
a. Understanding of role of microbial agents in health and disease
b. Understanding of the immunological mechanisms in health and disease
c. Ability to correlate the natural history, mechanisms and clinical manifestations of infectious diseases as they relate to the properties of microbial agents
d. Knowledge of the principles and application of infection control measures
e. An understanding of the basis of choice of laboratory diagnostic tests and their interpretation,antimicrobial therapy, control and prevention of infectious diseases.
INTEGRATION:
The teaching should be aligned and integrated horizontally and vertically in organ systems with emphasis on host-microbe-environment interactions and their alterations in disease and clinical correlations so as to provide an overall understanding of the etiological agents, their laboratory diagnosis and prevention.
