Course summary
About the course
The Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) in Paediatric Infectious Diseases is a part-time course directing students through the syllabus required in Europe for clinical training in the subspecialty. The course is appropriate for both those in the UK and Overseas.
Thus, the department believes that professionally-oriented education in paediatric infectious diseases is essential in the training of clinicians and clinical academics who will provide the future leadership in this key area for global health.
The Postgraduate Certificate is a one-year, part-time course taught primarily online providing you with an in-depth understanding of both the theoretical and practical aspects of paediatric infection. It also places the practice of paediatric infectious diseases in the broader context of applied sciences, such as pathogenesis, population biology and epidemiology.
The course will appeal to doctors who have experience in paediatrics, including trainees in paediatrics who have an interest in specialist knowledge in the field of paediatric infectious diseases, for example those training for the RCPCH paediatric infectious diseases special interest (SPIN) module. It is also suitable for GPs with an interest in paediatric infectious diseases.
Assessment
To complete the PGCert in Paediatric Infectious Diseases you will need to complete:
鈥�
two 4,000-word written assignments. These assignments will be based on the modules taught in Michaelmas and Hilary term (Infectious Syndromes and Epidemiology, Therapeutics, Infection Control and Prevention) and would be due at the end of each respective term; and
鈥�
one examination at the end of the year, consisting of multiple choice questions covering the modules taught in that year.
Each of the summative assessments (two written assignments and one MCQ exam) make up a third of the overall mark for the PGCert.
