医学硕士（感染与免疫）分析了传染病的基本机制，以找到与之抗争的改进方法。该计划是为希望增加对传染病，感染控制和免疫系统知识的卫生专业人员而设计的。传染病遍及世界各地，在许多情况下对人类构成威胁生命的风险。除了增加对抗生素的抗性之外，已知病原体的复发和新病原体的传播使传染病成为科学的挑战。作为感染和免疫力的学生，您将向领先的学者学习澳大利亚最强大的感染和免疫力研究学科之一。
Designed for doctors, the Master of Medicine (Infection and Immunity) analyses the fundamental mechanisms of infectious diseases to find improved ways of combating them. This program will help participants to increase their knowledge of infectious diseases, infection control and the immune system. As an infection and immunity student, you will learn from leading academics in one of the strongest infection and immunity research disciplines in Australia. During this one-year degree, you will study a wide range of topics with a focus on improving your understanding of the functions of bacterial and viral genes, the mechanisms of viral and bacterial infections, and the mechanisms involved in the generation and regulation of immune responses. The program also aims to improve understanding of the principles and practices advocated for prevention and minimisation of infectious diseases in hospitals and laboratories, among the general community, and during disease outbreaks. It also provides you with training in state-of-the-art laboratory techniques used in the disciplines of infectious diseases and immunology. The program also provides a solid foundation for the pursuit of a research career. The Master of Medicine (Infection and Immunity) is designed for clinicians who are looking to stay abreast of the latest technologies, treatments and techniques in the field of infectious diseases. We also offer a master in medicine program to other health professionals.
