The Division of Infectious Diseases offers a four week long elective course for fourth year medical students, Medicine 431. Students will be assigned to either the UCSD Medical Center or the VA Hospital. We will try to accommodate students who have a preference for one or the other hospital. Students meet daily with the attending physician, and participate in Microbiology teaching rounds that are held regularly at both hospitals.
Preference is given to UCSD students.
Medical Microbiology is taught to second year UCSD medical students as part of School of Medicine 208, Human Disease. The course consists of lectures and small group laboratory exercises. The course schedule will be posted at this site in January of each year. An elective course in Microbial Pathogenesis will be taught for the first time in Spring 2001. All medical students, graduate students and qualified upper division undergraduates are eligible to enroll.
