Overview

The Postgraduate Diploma in Infectious Diseases [PDipID] programme and infectious diseases update courses aim to provide understanding of and practical experience in infectious-disease management for physicians, surgeons, clinical microbiologists, other clinicians and healthcare workers who are actively involved in the daily management of patients suffering from infectious diseases. Special emphasis is placed on infections that are major health problems locally or globally. The programme lasts for two years on a part-time basis, and comprises teaching and prescribed work including lecture courses, clinical attachments, a project and a literature review. Students who do not intend to pursue the PDipID qualification may opt to take the individual two-day courses.
