cussed cases and topics. The co-ordination with infectious diseases chair<br />
is minimal.<br />
4. Describe <strong>the</strong> innovations in your teaching.<br />
1. During lectures and seminars <strong>the</strong> Data projector and Power Point lectures<br />
with some Photos <strong>of</strong> clinical cases are used. The students (international,<br />
Russian) are frequently provided with handouts <strong>of</strong> lectures as <strong>the</strong>y do not<br />
have <strong>the</strong> textbook written by us.<br />
2. The Estonian textbooks and handbook are provided with a lot <strong>of</strong> tables and<br />
figures, reflecting both global and local data <strong>of</strong> infectious epidemiology and<br />
microbial drug resistance.<br />
3. For practical interactive labwork two separate leaflet books have been published<br />
(T. Karki, T. Brilene, M. Mikelsaar. Practical works in medical microbiology,<br />
I and II. Tartu, 1999). In <strong>the</strong>se books <strong>the</strong> plan <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> practical work,<br />
its items have been proposed for acquintance, <strong>the</strong> practical works described<br />
and for interactive work <strong>the</strong> diagnostic formulars and <strong>the</strong> conclusions<br />
must be drawn by <strong>the</strong> students <strong>the</strong>mselves.<br />
4. An innovative conference-seminar has been applied for teaching <strong>of</strong> mycology.<br />
The <strong>the</strong>mes <strong>of</strong> clinically important fungal infections where divided to<br />
students who <strong>the</strong>mselves searched <strong>the</strong> data and made presentations using<br />
<strong>the</strong> material from different textbooks, papers and Internet. After each presentation<br />
<strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r students (opponents) started <strong>the</strong> discussion and evaluated<br />
<strong>the</strong> presentation and knowledge.<br />
5. The exam <strong>of</strong> medical microbiology has been divided for 2 parts: general<br />
microbiology and altoge<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> bacteriology, virology, mycology and parasitology.<br />
6. Through <strong>the</strong> whole curriculum <strong>the</strong> new elective problem-oriented courses<br />
are <strong>of</strong>fered for students.<br />
Hospital infections, Most important for Estonia infections: spread, pathogenesis,<br />
diagnostics and control, Gynaecological infections, Stomatological<br />
infections, Antimicrobial drugs in clinical practice, Role <strong>of</strong> probiotics in<br />
medicine, History <strong>of</strong> microbiology.<br />
7. Scientific achievements in molecular mechanisms <strong>of</strong> infectious diseases<br />
and molecular dignostics <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> world and colleagues <strong>of</strong> department are<br />
reported on <strong>the</strong> lectures<br />
8. Special course Research in Medical Microbiology was introduced, including<br />
lectures, seminars and laboratory experiments on <strong>the</strong> selected by students<br />
<strong>the</strong>mes. The very positive feedback was got from students. This course<br />
helps to select students able to proceed with PhD studies.<br />
5. <strong>Name</strong> <strong>the</strong> factors which most disturb teaching (excluding financial resources).<br />
1. The medical microbiology is closely related with pathology, however, pathology<br />
is taught only after <strong>the</strong> microbiology. That makes difficult to provide<br />
