The module designed to provide students with the essential knowledge and skills which will contribute to the development of Infection Prevention and Control practice. The indicative content of the course will consist of basic biology of common micro-organisms types, the immune system and physiological effects of infection in the human host. For those in designated Infection Prevention and Control roles; students will analyze the importance of healthcare associated infection and wider related issues of commissioning services and antibiotic resistance. This module is aimed at Healthcare Practitioners specifically working as specialist practitioners within the field of Infection prevention and control.

This course is designed as a preparatory course for infection prevention practices as they are all associated with greater risk during conducting laboratory practice. The aim of this course is to provide graduates with the necessary awareness and the essential competencies to conduct biological, chemical, or physical laboratory tests in a good and safe way. This will confer safety to the practitioner, his experiment, and the local and outer environment.

This course is designed as a preparatory course for infection prevention practices. The aim of this course is to provide graduates with adequate understanding and the essential competencies to select and perform decontamination procedures. This will ensure safety administration of devices as well as utilization of sterile patient care utilities.

The course introduces students to the scope of antimicrobial chemotherapy and considers antibiotic treatment of various infections. It will also discuss classification of antibiotics, antimicrobial combination therapy and antibiotic policies. Students will also investigate mechanism of action, spectrum, pharmacokinetics and adverse events of the major classes of antimicrobial agents. It will also introduce and explain the concept of Antimicrobial Stewardship as an inter-disciplinary, multi-faceted approach to optimize antimicrobial use.

The course provides in-depth understanding of public health issues and the approach by which IPC specialist can tackle them. It also involves students in the dynamic and interactions of the health care systems tributaries. Student will locate their role in the healthcare system. Students will be exposed to principles of epidemiology and outbreaks, as well as mastering the tools of investigate them.

This course is designed to develop a focused approach to the essential elements of an effective infection prevention and control (IPC) management service, using robust evidence base. It bridges the associated disciplines towards greater achievement in the field of patient and healthcare worker safety. The course addresses the necessary competencies for practice for IPC. It aims to equip the students with the specialist evidence based knowledge, awareness, clinical governance principles, current approaches and skills with which to confidently devise or select the appropriate IPC management strategy. The course will address the increasing problems with the prevention and management of infection in a variety of clinical healthcare settings. This course will help the students to consolidate the fundamental knowledge and skills already acquired and prepare them for greater responsibilities within their sphere of practice.

This course is designed to provide the students with the adequate knowledge as well as the necessary skills to enable them to conduct high standard research. It will help them to improve their critical thinking and enhance their ability to generate research proposals. This course flourishes the way to the students that they can continue on conducting research from their routine IPC work; hence it will enrich the experience and promote the quality of the work.

Leadership is the process of influencing the activities of an organized group in its efforts toward goal setting and goal achievement. It is the art of leading others to deliberately create a result that would not have happened otherwise. The course is designed to promote these concepts throughout its activities. Students will learn and be trained to handle different managerial issues at different levels, this include team leading and prompt decision making. Also the course focuses on the quality management that ensures the effective implementation for IPC and grants continues development

Molecular Biology course for level-3 in Master of Infection Prevention and Control program. It is a 3 credit hour course and continues for 15 weeks and includes different aspects of Molecular Biology and its applications in infection control. It is conducted through theoretical and practical labs/studios and different activities including journal clubs, projects ---etc. This course is designed to provide students with up-to-date knowledge and practice of Molecular Biology as applied biotechnology related to infection control. Students will learn how nucleic acid technology can help very much in detection and identification of infections and for how extend they can be useful for mutation detection in relation to drug resistance. Also students will be able to apply information technology together with molecular biology for epidemiology and related implementations.

Health Care Management provides a framework for addressing management problems in healthcare organizations. By the end of the course students will have been exposed to many management ideas, theories and applications. The course provides students with an overview of how health care institutions are organized and governed, it will also explain the role of the management staff, physicians, nurses and other clinical and support staff in these organizations, and the management systems designed for their efficient and effective operation.

In this course students will explore the global challenges of intercontinental infections and their mode of transmission. Also students will extensively discuss the global burden of infections and the international efforts and coordination for controlling infections together with socio-economic effects. Students will master the required competencies relevant to global health issues in term of hospital based readiness, interpret and respond to remote sensing reports.

This course is designed to provide students with up-to-date knowledge and practice of Bioinformatics as applied technology related to infection control. Students will learn NCBI, and EBI resources for the molecular domain of bioinformatics, Focusing on GenBank, UniProt, Entrez, and Gene Ontology. Hands-on with BLAST, GenBank, OMIM, GENE, UniProt, Muscle, PFAM, and PDB bioinformatics tools and databases. Also, students will use Sequence alignment fundamentals, algorithms, and applications.

The course designed to meet challenge of infection control related to mass-gathering during outbreaks. It also deals with interdisciplinary responsibilities during talking infection prevention and control of mass population during outbreaks. The course granted safety priorities of healthcare workers and population within the outer circle of containment. Students will learn about advance check points and early alarm and remote sensing. There will special regard to Hajj and Umra as major events and seasons of math gathering.
