Covid-19 Elective

The purpose of this course is to localize information surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic to stay informed and better advise our patients, families, friends, and broader community. We will focus on aspects of the virus including virology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and prognosis. We will also be looking at the epidemiology, diagnostic tools, current clinical research, and the societal and economic impacts of COVID-19. Students will engage in lectures from faculty in the School of Medicine. A 2-unit option is available for students who want to work on mentored projects related to COVID-19. A 3-unit option is available for students who want to submit a first draft of an article describing the broader implications of their COVID-19 project. See the course syllabus for details.
