The main goal of the course is to give students who already have basic knowledge of microbiology an insight into the following:
a) Microbiological protocols for diagnosis and monitoring of infections in different organ systems
b) The problem of intrahospital infections, the primary routes of their transmission and the role of the microbiology laboratory in the prevention and control of these infections
c) Microbiological protocols for diagnosis and monitoring of infections in immunocompromised patients
d) Microbiological diagnosis of emerging and re-emerging diseases
e) Practical recommendations for interpretation of results of microbiological diagnosis

Structure of Clinical Microbiology Course / Attendance
In the school year 2023/24, the Clinical Microbiology course will be held online within the Online Study Platform (Moodle), Clinical Microbiology 2023/24 during 10 weeks of the summer semester.
The course is composed of 30 classes (15 seminars and 15 practical classes).
The course is held during 10 weeks of the VIII (summer) semester in the IV academic year.
The seminar lessons and practical assignments (clinical vignettes) are open each week. They stay open for two weeks, after which the specific lesson or clinical vignettes are closed and cannot be finished until make-ups.
The students are eligible for signature at the end of the course if they finish 100% of online lessons and assignments (visible on the online platform as a green line with a percentage).
The students who do not finish their make-up and do not have the professor’s signature in the index will not be allowed to enter the final exam.

The Final Assessment of Clinical Microbiology course
A test of 30 multiple-choice questions performs the final assessment of student learning outcomes.
The result of the exam is expressed as "passed" or "not passed" (there are no grades).
The test is passed when the score is 16/30 (50% plus 1) or higher.
