MED 3105 Infectious Diseases Selective
The infectious diseases selective occurs over four weeks, exposing students to a broad range of pathologies. In the outpatient setting, the rotation exposes students to the diagnosis and treatment of HIV and travel medicine. The student will also have the opportunity to see inpatient consultations. These experiences expose students to acute and chronic infections: hepatitis C, latent tuberculosis, atypical mycobacterial infections, osteomyelitis, infectious arthritis, and vector-borne diseases. Students may also gain exposure to other infectious disease areas such as laboratory medicine and infection control, and hospital epidemiology. Time spent with microbiologists facilitates learning skills of gram stain and culture plate interpretation. Students will present an infectious disease topic of their choice to the staff at the end of the rotation.
