Problem-Based Learning Approach in Microbiology: A Revolutionary Way to Study Infectious Diseases

By Khalid Mubarak Bindayna and Jameela Mohammed Al-Salman, this innovative approach to learning microbiology and infectious diseases uses real patient problems, or cases, to stimulate interactive learning and facilitate basic knowledge for clinical training.

What Sets This Approach Apart?

The Problem-Based Learning Approach in Microbiology is organ-based, meaning it uses case studies to explore real patient scenarios and encourage problem-solving. Each section of the book is divided into seven parts, starting with a clinical case scenario, followed by learning objectives, and concluding with a question-and-answer section that fosters student-tutor interaction.

A Comprehensive Exploration of Infectious Diseases

This comprehensive textbook covers a wide range of infectious diseases, including:

• Commonly encountered infectious diseases
• Emerging infectious diseases
• Immunological diseases

The etiological agent of each disease is thoroughly examined, including its epidemiology, pathogenicity, host immune response, clinical manifestations, diagnostic measures, and therapeutic approaches. This in-depth analysis enables students to gain a deeper understanding of the complex relationships between microbiology and infectious diseases.

A More Effective Learning Experience

This Problem-Based Learning Approach in Microbiology has been designed to facilitate a more effective learning process, ensuring better information retention, correlation with real-life scenarios, and better applicability of the concepts. By dividing the book into sections, students can easily navigate the content and focus on specific areas of interest.
