PEDS 5710 - IMMUNIZATION, IMMUNE DEFICIENCY, AND INFLAMMATION IN KIDS
Minimum Credits: 0
Maximum Credits: 0
In this ILS, students will learn practical and cutting-edge clinical applications of basic science immunology topics including immunization development, primary immune deficiency and immune dysregulation conditions, and pathophysiologic manifestations of inflammation as it pertains to numerous pediatric disease states. This course will highlight ways in which an in-depth understanding of the immune system and mechanisms of inflammation enhances the practice of precision medicine, especially as it pertains to genetic testing and initiation of biologic and immunomodulatory therapies. Students may have some clinical experiences (i.e. time spent in Primary Immunodeficiency Clinic at UPMC Children’s Hospital and with genetic counselors), however, most of the course time will be dedicated to small case-based group sessions in which students and facilitators will discuss the clinical applications of basic immunology topics.
