Description
This course, designed for postgraduate study, aims to examine the
epidemiology, symptoms and management of a variety of infectious
diseases from the perspective of their potential impact on
reproductive health outcomes for both males and females.It is likely
to be most relevant to those working primarily in a reproductive
health setting-in particular gynaecologists, sexual health physicians,
primary care physicians and family planning practitioners as well as
nurses, counselors and scientists with a special interest in this field.
This Course is delivered entirely online. An online assessment (by Multiple Choice Questionnaire) completed at the end of each module contributes to the overall assessment. The remainder of the assessment will be determined by essay/s related to the topics covered during the Course.
All course materials are accessible through the 'Blackboard' learning platform used in this Course and the prescribed text.
