The English course of Medical Microbiology in Basic Medical School of Fudan University is trying to lead student to catch up the uptodate knowledge, by using the latest textbook Jawetz, Melnick, & Adelberg‘s Medical Microbiology, 25th. In the course the students can interact with teachers on the platform established by university as an e-learning system. Compare to other courses in the disciplines of Medical Microbiology, this course has shown a preponderance in the principles of teaching an learning, and covered contents both basic knowledge and recent development trends in microbiology and infectious diseases. It guide the students some space for self learning and facing the challenges in the future.
Under the guidance of Prof. YM Wen, the teaching team has applied several teaching methods in the course, such as the PBL teaching strategy in the some lectures. They have paid more attention on combing the basic sciences of medicine and clinical practice, training the students to have a skill to acquit the knowledge and expanded mind with creativity, which would be as a demonstration for the similar kind of courses.
The teaching team in Fudan University is very strong in both teaching and research with solid foundation of professional knowledge on medical microbiology, and all the teachers have been trained in abroad, which guarantees the quality of the course taught in English and a precondition for international exchange.
I think that the course will be one of national High-quality Curriculum in the future.
