?????????????????????????????????????Teaching & Learning

The Division of Medical Microbiology and Immunology offers diverse educational opportunities.

?Undergraduate training is integrated into the curriculum of several health science disciplines. Medical Laboratory Science (BHSc) students gain practical experience in medical microbiology and immunology to fulfill Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) registration requirements. Dietetics (BScDiet) students have a dedicated module covering microbiology related to food, foodborne illnesses, and nutritional immunology. Bachelor of Nursing and Midwifery students receive foundational training in medical microbiology, with a focus on infectious diseases, pathogenesis, and infection control. Medical students (MBChB) receive integrated training in basic clinical microbiology throughout their curriculum, contributing to several Phase II and Phase III modules that cover various organ systems, disease processes, and clinical immunology.

Postgraduate studies offer specialised training. The MMed (Microbiol Path) program provides four years of training, including rotations in virology and immunology, covering clinical microbiology, laboratory management, and research methodology. Assessment includes written, oral, and practical examinations, and a dissertation. Six registrar positions are available, with the requirements of an MBChB degree, successful completion of community service, and HPCSA registration.

The BScHons (Med Micro) degree focuses on medical microbiology, virology, molecular pathology, and immunology, incorporating lectures, practicals, tutorials, and a mini-research project. Limited student numbers are accommodated.

The MSc (Med Micro) degree involves in-depth study and research in medical microbiology or immunology, culminating in a thesis. Similarly, the PhD program entails original research in these fields, also requiring a thesis. Both MSc and PhD programs have limited student capacity.
