Knowledge
The student who completes the course successfully will demonstrate a solid knowledge of the main infectious agents for humans (Bacteria, Fungi, Viruses ans Parasites) and of the bases of Promotion of Health and Prevention of diseases. He or she will acquire knowledge of the biology of infectious agents, the pathogentic bases of the infectious diseases and the principles of their control. He/she will know the principles of organisation of Health Services, of Basic Epidemiology and of some of the key issues of Hospital Hygiene. Lastly, he or she will be aware of modern approaches of laboratory diagnosis of infections that rely on conventional and molecular approaches and biotechnologies.
Assessment criteria of knowledge
The student will be assessed, by a written exam, on his/her ability to discuss the main course contents using the appropriate terminology. During the exam, the student must be able to demonstrate his/her knowledge of the course issues and be able to present and discuss correctly the main topics presented during the course.
