Skills and Knowledge:
This course on Bacterial Genomes: Antimicrobial Resistance in Bacterial Pathogens will provide learners with the skills and knowledge to explore the challenges of AMR and understand how experts work to address them. Learners will gain an understanding of the historical and epidemiological aspects of antibiotics and AMR, and recognise its clinical significance. They will also learn about the role of genomics in tackling AMR from research, diagnostic and surveillance perspectives, as well as the principles and practice of AMR Quality Assurance.
Professional Growth:
This course contributes to professional growth by providing learners with an understanding of the challenges of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and how experts work to address them. Learners will gain knowledge of the historical and epidemiological aspects of antibiotics and AMR, and recognise its clinical significance. They will also explore the role of genomics in tackling AMR from research, diagnostic and surveillance perspectives, as well as the principles and practice of AMR Quality Assurance. This course is designed for researchers and healthcare professionals interested in infectious diseases, epidemics and the problem of microbial resistance, and will help those with backgrounds in microbiology or bioinformatics to work together.
Further Education:
This course is suitable for preparing further education as it provides an in-depth exploration of the challenges of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and how experts work to address them. It covers the historical and epidemiological aspects of antibiotics and AMR, as well as the principles and practice of AMR Quality Assurance. It is designed for researchers and healthcare professionals interested in infectious diseases, epidemics and the problem of microbial resistance, and no prior learning is required. Additionally, no previously installed software is required, although learners may be required to access websites to use bioinformatics tools.
