A self-paced online course that trains you to think like a clinical microbiologist: take the history, order the right tests, interpret the results and choose the treatment. Built by a professor with 35 years of teaching medical students through problem-based learning.
Turn lecture facts into clinical reasoning before your exams and clinical years.
Case-based practice for USMLE Step 1, PLAB and Gulf licensing microbiology.
Sharpen test ordering, result interpretation and antimicrobial choice.
Connect what happens at the bench to the decisions made at the bedside.
Start with the core chapters, then put them to work in progressively more realistic clinical scenarios.
Ten chapters across four modules covering the essentials you need before tackling cases, with structured objectives and open-access reading.
Work through basic-science problems using the classic seven-jump PBL method: clarify, define, brainstorm, hypothesise, set learning goals, study and synthesise.
Eight branching clinical cases spanning bacteria, viruses, parasites, atypical organisms and fungi. Every decision you make changes what happens next.
Five broad clinical scenarios run as facilitated Maastricht-style PBL workshops, the same method used in leading medical schools.
Interview an AI patient in your own words. Take a history, order investigations and build your diagnosis across ten cases. The AI acts as a Socratic tutor: it asks guiding questions, releases lab results only when you order them, and never simply gives you the answer.

Former Professor and Chairman of Microbiology at the Arabian Gulf University, where he was PBL coordinator and led curriculum and assessment committees for medical students. He has taught microbiology for more than three decades, authored 60+ peer-reviewed publications, and wrote Problem-Based Learning Approach in Microbiology (Academic Press / Elsevier, 2023) and MCQs in Medical Microbiology: Problem-Based and USMLE Format (2025).
MedMicro is built on one conviction from those years: students learn microbiology best by reasoning through real patient problems, not by memorising lists.

Yes. MedMicro is fully online and asynchronous, so you can study at any time and at your own pace.
Medical students, interns and residents, candidates preparing for USMLE, PLAB and Gulf licensing exams, and laboratory scientists who want to connect microbiology to clinical decisions.
No. The virtual patient tutor works Socratically: it asks guiding questions, releases lab results only when you order them, and never hands you the diagnosis. You do the reasoning; it keeps you on track.
