SBM/ID includes two major components: parasitology and the pathophysiology of infectious disease. The parasitology component includes lectures and laboratories on the principal pathogenic parasites. The infectious disease component covers the mechanisms of action and clinical use of antimicrobiol agents, the pathophysiology and clinical features of the major infectious disease syndromes (e.g., pneumonia, urinary tract infections, etc.), and infectious disease epidemiology. Small group problem sessions and a laboratory on mycobacterial skin testing are included.
