Objective Objectives/Desired Results:

The general purpose of the course is to introduce students to the basic knowledge of autoimmune diseases and to enable them to design, analyze and write papers. Furthermore, the course seeks to provide students with the essentials for applied knowledge of clinical immunology. The specific objectives of the course are specialized in the following intended learning outcomes:

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

He/she will be able to use the acquired knowledge in order to:

to draw complex schemes of pathophysiological mechanisms
to write papers individually or in collaboration with other members (students, EDIP, faculty)
to use literature search tools
be equipped to pursue future careers in specialties involving basic and applied knowledge of clinical immunology
to organize thinking about understanding immune signaling and immunity
to approach diseases characterized by immune disorders with structural thinking
to collaborate with fellow students to produce research work
