INFECTIOUS DISEASE SURVEILLANCE
Basics of infectious disease, including the microbiologic, virology, and parasitology of human disease, the immune response to infection, pathologic changes related to infectious disease, and the pharmacology of anti-infectious agents. Understanding antimicrobial stewardship, importance of prevention, including vaccination, and an understanding of infectious disease surveillance on local, regional, national, and global systems. Appreciation of emerging infectious threats, threats from climate change on microbiota, and the epidemiology of an emerging infection.
