Learning Outcomes of UE

During this apprenticeship, the student will develop an in-depth knowledge of both bacterial and viral pathogens involved in human infections as well as a good knowledge of prevention and infection control basics. 

Content of UE

This UE is composed of one theoritical part divided in three main sections:
1/ Prevention and Infection control
2/ Clinically important bacteria
3/ Clinically important viruses
Practical works illustrate the theory. 

Prior Experience

M-DOYM-014: Microbiologie générale et médicale: introduction, basics in Immunology and Biology.

Type of Assessment for UE in Q2

• Presentation and/or works
• Written examination

Q2 UE Assessment Comments

Multiple choice questionnaire, one-answer allowed, no minus points (theoritical part).
Interactive classes with exercices and/or an oral or written presentation  (practical works by groups, attendance is mandatory, these sessions represent 10% of the final mark).

Type of Assessment for UE in Q3

• Written examination

Q3 UE Assessment Comments

Multiple choice questionnaire, one-answer allowed, no minus points (theoritical part).
The mark obtained during the practical sessions still counts for 10% of the final mark (practical mark is transferred from Q2 to Q3; ! not from an academic year to another !).
