Start your online immunology class
with Peter Delves, PhD, from the University College London
Immunology impacts patient outcomes in many different ways: Recognizing the manifestations of immunological illness is vital to refer patients to the specialized care they need, and understanding vaccinations helps to properly advocate for community health interventions.
This course covers the basics of how the immune system works and the pathophysiology of the most important immune disorders. Peter Delves, PhD, is a Professor Emeritus of Immunology who has written several books and lab manuals, and has extensive teaching experience. He will lay out the cells and function of the innate and adaptive immune system and explain humoral and cell-mediated immunity. In the second half of the course, you will learn about pathologies including immunodeficiencies, hypersensitivity, and autoimmune diseases. Special attention will be given to transplantation, tumor, and vaccine immunology.
The combination of Video Lessons with interactive quiz questions, downloadable study materials, and a USMLE-style Qbank makes it easy to understand and retain the topics. By the end of this course, you will be confident in your understanding of the human immune system, as well as feel prepared to start diagnosing and treating its disorders.
