Student experience
the class
In much of the world, infection remains the leading cause of disease and death. While medicine has made great strides in the diagnosis and treatment of infection, new and deadly pathogens continue to emerge, and antibiotic resistance continues to grow. No matter what a physician's specialty, understanding principals of infectious disease manifestations, diagnosis and treatment are key.
