Overview

The Paediatric Infectious Diseases programme offered by University of Oxford 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 PGCert 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.

Key Facts

The course will appeal to doctors who are training in general paediatrics and also those 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 or planning/undertaking subspecialty training. It is also suitable for GPs with an interest in paediatric infectious diseases.
