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 />
