Problem-Based Learning Approach in Microbiology
Academic Press Inc (Verlag)
978-0-323-95092-3 (ISBN)
In seven sections, each problem in each section begins with a clinical case scenario and is followed by the learning objectives of the case. The “Question-and-answer section facilitates student-tutor interaction, thereby resulting in a problem-solving approach. The etiological agent is then described in complete detail comprising the epidemiology and pathogenicity of the agent, and the host immune response, clinical manifestations, diagnostic, and therapeutic measures. This book includes a wide-spectrum of commonly encountered infectious diseases, emerging infectious diseases, and immunological diseases. This book caters to the need for fundamental knowledge through an alternative approach achieved by dividing the book into sections.
This book facilitates a more effective learning process thereby ensuring better information retention, correlation with real-life scenarios, and better applicability of the concepts.
