This course serves as an introduction to the microbial organisms that cause most of the infections in man: bacteria, viruses, and fungi, with an emphasis on bacteria. Students will learn the principles of the infectious disease process with respect to the properties of infectious agents, modes of transmission, manifestations of infections and their prevention and treatment. Students will identify not only infectious diseases of the oral cavity but oral and systemic manifestations of other infectious diseases as well. This course will further describe the virulence factors of microbial agents that enable them to cause disease in humans. The course covers the major infectious diseases in humans, including the methods used for their identification in the clinical lab. Modes of transmission are described, as well as treatments and prevention. A brief overview serves to introduce the student to selected infectious diseases of protozoa. This course is open only to students in the Doctor of Dental Surgery program. Core curriculum.

Introduction to Neuroscience is a comprehensive biomedical course that is designed to provide students with a breadth of knowledge and the fundaments of how the Nervous System is organized and works in health and disease. The course brings together neuroanatomy, neurohistology, neurophysiology, and an introduction to the principles of neurological examination and to the general approach regarding neurological disorders. Discussions and applications place the emphasis on analytical skills, integration, critical thinking and problem solving in clinically relevant contexts. This course is open only to students in the Doctor of Dental Surgery program. Core curriculum.

The goal of the course is to 1) help students retain foundational knowledge from completed courses and 2) apply foundational knowledge to clinical cases.
