Quiz 1 – Basics of Infectious Diseases and Antimicrobials

Covers topics such as microbiology, immunology, pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD), antimicrobial resistance, and stewardship principles.

Quiz 2 – Antimicrobial Agents: Classification and Mechanisms

Focuses on the pharmacology and mechanisms of beta-lactams, fluoroquinolones, antifungals, antivirals, and antiparasitics.

Quiz 3 – Clinical Case Scenarios in Infectious Diseases

Tests knowledge of diagnosing and managing common infections such as CAIs, HAIs, and Gram-negative infections.

Quiz 4 – Special Populations and Advanced Therapeutics

Covers antimicrobial therapy considerations in pediatric, geriatric, and immunocompromised patients, as well as vaccine and immunotherapy applications

Quiz 5  – Innovations and Future Directions

Assesses understanding of advanced topics like pharmacogenomics, nanotechnology, and global health perspectives

Assessment 1 – Infection Control and Resistance Mitigation Plan (End of Section 1)

Develop a protocol to prevent hospital-acquired infections and mitigate antimicrobial resistance in a healthcare setting.

Assessment 2 – Antimicrobial Dosing and Monitoring Plan (End of Section 2)

Create a dosing and monitoring plan for a complex patient, considering PK/PD principles, drug-drug interactions, and toxicity management.

Assessment 3 – Case-Based Assessment (Midway through Section 3)

Students work through real-life patient scenarios involving CAIs, HAIs, sepsis, and Gram-negative infections. Focus: diagnosis, drug selection, and dosing.

Assessment 4 – Research Proposal on Emerging Infectious Diseases (End of Section 4)

Students propose a research project on a topic such as global health threats, nanotechnology in anti-infective delivery, or vaccines for neglected diseases.

Assessment 5  – Comprehensive Program Examination (End of Section 5)

A cumulative assessment combining multiple-choice questions, case studies, and short essays to test knowledge across all sections.

Focus: Applying knowledge to complex clinical and research scenarios.
