Intro to Medical Microbiology – Bacteriology
    About Lesson

    Intro Resources

    Welcome to the first course in Medical Microbiology, brought to you by MedEd University (previously FreeMedEd). This course will concentrate on the first, and arguably most intriguing section of medically relevant microbes: bacteria. 

    All mentions and graphics for FreeMedEd can now be directed towards MedEd.University

    Course Overview

    Unlike most courses in microbiology, this course is designed in tiers. This helps to chunk different categories into related and manageable bits of information. We also use spaced repetition to encourage memory of not only the most recently covered material but the entire course as a whole. This means it may be helpful, though not required, to complete the 10 Modules in order. Alternatively, you may wish to complete all of the A-series lectures from each module, then B-series, and so on. 

    Since we cannot fit all relevant material into our short lecture series, there are “Optional Resources” attached to each module section. These include external videos/links from mostly very well-respected educational resources (as well as some for humor), and add artistic and graphic information to aid in learning the material.

    Resources

    A Supplemental Textbook for this course can be found at:

    • Microbiology and Immunology Online Textbook

    Special thanks to Dr. Richard Hunt for his hard work on this free, online resource! It is often going through updates, so check back often for the latest information.

    You may also wish to use these free resources:

    Or simply search your local public or university library for a Medical Microbiology textbook to follow along with each module. It is highly recommended you utilize multiple learning paths (ie: lectures, texts, assignments) in order to improve retention of material.
