The MFM II course (98 lectures and 6 exams) will integrate the basic science fields of Biochemistry, Immunology and Microbiology as they relate to the understanding of disease pathogenesis. This second Biochemistry block covers parts of lipid and amino acid metabolism, cytogenetics, and modes of inheritance of human diseases. The immunology module explains how our body uses normal microbiota and various components of the immune system for self-regulation, self-healing, and health preservation to protect us from infection and disease. The microbiology content is delivered in a “Etiologic Agents” manner, to study the characteristics, disease presentation and pathology caused by individual microorganisms. This integrated course will allow students to determine the diagnosis and treatments of infectious diseases, focused upon the disciplines of bacteriology, virology, parasitology, and mycology.
