The course of Medical Virology is a bridge course connecting the basic and clinical medicine. The course aims to help students to learn viral infectious diseases in depth from the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, laboratory examination, treatment, prevention and control of related diseases. This course is designed and planned on purpose to train medical students with the competency to connect the basic knowledge with clinical cases. This curriculum creates a learner-centered learning environment. The course is outcome-based and closely related to the clinical situation, and enables you to realize the value of this course. The cases provided are from simplicity to complexity or from superficiality to deepness, which promote students to learn novel knowledge on the basis of existing knowledge. The evaluation includes formative and summative evaluation. The formative evaluation aims to make students understand their own learning situation by self-test questions and self-reflection corresponding to learning objectives every week. The summative evaluation will be assessed at the end of the course.
