Handbook

Medical microbiology utilises a range of different teaching approaches, including active learning, case-based teaching, enquiry-based learning and online learning. Learning activities including lectures, interactive workshops and laboratory practicals which are utilised to teach advanced medical microbiology. The interactive workshops help students consolidate and apply the lecture material, which in turn is complemented by the practical component of the unit. The practical sessions are designed to teach diagnostic laboratory techniques and skills using case-based scenarios in a PC2 microbiology laboratory setting.
