Infectious and dermatological conditions are commonly occurring forms of disease,
particularly in tropical, rural and remote locations. This integrated subject will
allow students to describe and differentiate a range of infectious diseases and dermatological
conditions, and recommend suitable pharmacological and non-pharmacological management
options. Students will also gain an understanding of the clinical usage of the medications
used to manage these conditions. Students will develop an understanding of the principles
of antimicrobial stewardship, disease prevention and treatment, the identification
of common infections and skin diseases, and factors affecting the use and selection
of topical medications.
