Educational Conferences
- Plate rounds (Thursdays at 11:00 am):
Interactive sessions in which a faculty member leads a discussion and demonstration of a particular organism in relation to a specific patient, directly correlating microbiology with patient care. - Mycology rounds (once per week):
Interactive session in which filamentous fungi from patient specimens are identified morphologically and discussed with a faculty member. - Walk rounds (five days per week):
Practical and educational in-laboratory rounds with the lab director. - Research and development meeting (three Tuesdays per month):
Progress on research projects in various areas of microbiology is discussed, with the areas on a rotating basis. - Microbiology newsletter presents an interesting "case of the week", an update on epidemiological information from the State of Maryland Health Department, and useful information on new test implementation.
