The Medical Microbiology and Immunology Course is offered in the fall semester for second-year medical students.
Instruction involves didactic lectures, clinical correlation conferences, and hands-on laboratories.
Both full time and part-time faculty members participate in teaching this course. The Biomedical Sciences Ph.D. Program Graduate research and educational opportunities are provided by the Department of Microbiology and Molecular Cell Biology through the Biomedical Sciences Ph.D. Program, a joint program sponsored by Eastern Virginia Medical School and Old Dominion University. The graduate program provides formal courses and research opportunities leading to the Ph.D. degree. Students first take an interdisciplinary program of study that provides a breadth of knowledge spanning the basic biomedical sciences. With this knowledge as a foundation, students then explore specific biomedical problems in advanced courses and research.
