  9. Microbiology 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 Yr 1 Yr 1 – spring & Yr 2 Yr 2 –part of year Yr 2 Yr 1 & 2 Microbiology and Immunology in the Curriculum Immunology responding schools (%) responding schools (%) 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 Yr 1 - fall/winter Yr 1 - spring Year 1 Yr 2 – part of year Yr 2 Yr 1 & 2 other N=63 schools

  10. Organism-focused manner Organ-based manner Organism- & organ-based PBL hybrid Format of Microbiology Content % of responding schools 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 n=69 schools

  11. 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 Format of Immunology Content % of responding schools A separate section within the microbiology course Integrated into a stand alone microbiology course Stand alone course and grade Integrated into the preclinical curriculum PBL hybrid Other N= 68 schools

  12. Formats Used in Teaching 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Lecture Wet lab Virtual lab Computer driven activities Self-study Student presentations Patient-oriented problem solving (POPS) Problem-based learning (PBL) Team-based learning (TBL) Other small group discussions 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 N=71 schools

  13. Procedure for Addressing Microbiology or Immunology Failures 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 Remediation exam (in house) Remediation exam (NBME) Summer course Repeat the course/material Not applicable due to curricular integration 69 schools responded

  14. Streaming video (67 schools responded) Podcasting (59 schools responded) Use of Streaming Video and Podcasting 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 Administrative information (e.g., HIPPA training) Periodic medical updates (e.g., the week in review) Some year 1 and 2 courses but not all Virtually all courses We generally do NOT use this technology

  15. Conclusions • Microbiology, immunology, and infectious disease faculty have unique teaching experiences and responsibilities. • There are many different ways to teach microbiology, immunology, and infectious disease.
