10- Course Overview: Medical or Clinical microbiology deals with microorganisms such as pathogenic bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites which are medically important and cause human diseases. Generally, microorganisms can cause a tremendous change on our planet and our life, there is a scientific speech says if “there is no microorganism on our earth there is no life on our planet” otherwise is also true because there are some dangerous and infectious microorganism which cause a dangerous airborne, foodborne and waterborne diseases that some of them are fatal and threaten human life. Evolution in the field of Clinical microbiology and exactly about identification of pathogenic microorganisms and the methods of chemotherapy and prophylaxes has saved the life of millions of peoples on our planet.
11- Course Objective:
1. To understand the basic principles of Clinical Microbiology. 2. To provide the student with the basic knowledge of microorganisms in general 3. To study the main characteristics of microbes of medical importance and their identification. 4. To teach aseptic techniques. 5. To provide an understanding of antimicrobial agents and infectious diseases. 6. To teach the basic immunological principles and methods for the study of immunological disorders.
12- Student's obligation
Class attendance regularly 85-90% of lectures each week 5 minutes before meantime of lecture is must. The students should also submit homework and assignments, accomplish extra classroom requirements such as preparing scientific reports, presentation and seminars and also be ready for performing quizzes, mid-term and final exams, participate in the laboratory works (practical labs) in order to pass successfully.
13- Forms of Teaching
Lecture notes prepared in Microsoft Word and presented to the students using PowerPoint Data Show and classroom Board or through online(e-learning). The lecture indicates, introduction, explain every slide show for the students. The lecture ends with several sample questions and given and if there is any question answers. The notes are usually given to the students on a Disc/USB flash memory stick and by hand-out and 3 Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific research a copy to be placed on the college website. Every sitting exam assigned for the students, question papers corrected, marks rewarded, next lecture discuss and solve the exam questions and place a copy of answers into their notes after giving several ways of answering. The corrected papers are given to the students for reviewing their errors. Exam answer papers are to be saved for future references. The exam paper covers most of the lectures and indicated: Exam instructions, selective answers, definitions, mechanisms, explanations, Drawings, write an assay, diagrams, differences…etc. The exam questions usually clear, direct and obvious. Every student activity is recorded, saved and notes will be taken by the students as well as by the lecturer for all over the academic year. Class reports Every student or small grouping students must prepare a report about a subject regarding clinical microbiology. Each report must include the following information: the logo of university or the Institute, the name of college or department, student’s name, the title of the report, short description and brief introduction about the subject, aims of the report, short review literature, prospects and overviews and finally the references. Each student or small group is present his/her/there reports as a seminar (presentation) to confirm their capability to speak about a scientific subject in front of gathering in a teaching hall.
14- Assessment scheme
Final exam: 50 marks Two Course exams: 25 marks for each including: Theory: 10 marks practical: 10 marks attendance and activity: 2 marks quizzes and seminars: 3 marks
15- Student Learning Outcome:
By the end of the course, the students are being able to: 1- Develop advanced academic knowledge about the concepts and principles of Medical Microbiology. 2- Cover the importance of Microbiology and the history background of this subject. 3- Detail knowledge about the Medical Microbiology and its applications. 4- Having knowledge about the up-to-date advancing and development in this field of subject 5- They could be familiar with the modest instruments in the medical labs like PCR and ELISA. 6- In addition to learning practically the technique of examining, using, how to collect the different type of speciemns and how to prepare it for examinations and be familiar with the results and writing reports.
