Host Pathogen Interaction Teaching Group

Goals

• Use a research group model to support our professional development as scientific educators.
• Create a community among faculty who research and teach HPI.
• Foster courses that engage students in deep and research oriented understanding of HPI.
• Create a continuum of learning where broad concepts introduced in the introductory microbiology course are refined and extended in upper level classes.

Vision

• Research faculty members with expertise in HPI meet regularly to discuss and affect the teaching of HPI concepts in our courses.
• A student who takes two or more upper level HPI courses experience depth in content and in process.
