9. OBJECTIVES By the end of the course, the students are expected to :

  1. Describe the basic concepts and principles of Microbiology and Immunology and their relation to understanding of infectious diseases.
  2. Describe the aetiological agents of infectious diseases.
  3. Describe and perform common laboratory procedures employed in diagnosing  infective diseases.
  4. Apply the  basic principles of epidemiology, treatment, prevention and control of infectious diseases and immunological conditions.
10. LEARNING OUTCOMES Upon successful completion of this course students should be able to:

  1. Relate the immune response to microbial invasion and other immunological conditions (LO1,C3)
  2. Relate the pathogenesis of infectious disease to clinical presentation and infection control (LO1,C3)
  3. Perform selected laboratory diagnostic procedures to identify microorganisms  causing the diseases (LO2,P3)
  4. Outline the treatment and prevention  of  common microbiological diseases  in accordance with accepted principles of  evidence-based practice (LO3-CTPS, A3)
11. TRANSFERABLE SKILLS
  • Deducting causal relationship between infections and diseases.
  • Performing and Interpreting   common microbiology laboratory procedures.
  • Effective communication through discussion during lectures, practicals, tutorials, seminar and PBL.
  • Critical thinking and problem solving in rationalizing how best to treat and prevent infectious diseases.
12. TEACHING-LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT STRATEGY Teaching-learning strategy:

Interactive sessions via lectures and tutorials.

Hands-on sessions via practical.

Directed-self learning via PBL and seminars.

 Assessment strategy:

  • Formative  (tutorials and PBL)
  • Summative assessment
13. SYNOPSIS Microbiology covers immunology, bacteriology, virology, and mycology. Students are required to grasp the immunological concepts of the body’s defence system in dealing with pathogens, the general and specific characteristics of micro-organisms, their pathogenicity, methods employed in identification of pathogens or the diagnosis of infectious and autoimmune diseases, control of micro-organisms and potential research areas. Various teaching-learning methods comprising of lectures, interactive tutorials, practical sessions, and mini PBL would be used to ensure that learning medical microbiology is made easy to comprehend and  effective.
14. MODE OF DELIVERY Lecture, Tutorial, Practical, Seminar, Problem-Based Learning.
