This course will explore the clinical impact of microbes on human health to prepare students for programs and careers as healthcare professionals (e.g., Physicians, Nurses, Pharmacists, Physical therapists, Dentists, Veterinarians, Athletic Trainers) and programs in biomedical science. Evaluating the biological mechanisms by which microbe-human interaction leads to disease will be a focus, along with an understanding of vaccine platforms and therapeutics. Scientific literacy will be emphasized as it relates to vaccines and therapeutics, along with an understanding of their mode of action and application in clinical settings.
