Objectives/
Content |
|
The curriculum of the postgraduate
diploma in the control and management of sexually
transmitted infections has been developed through a competency-based
approach.
It takes recognition of the fact that doctors are more
than clinicians; they play a positive
role in their community, and effective AIDS control requires
doctors to have knowledge
of counseling, health promotion, medico-legal and social
issues, alongside their medical
skills.
The study material has therefore been structured into
modules which will start with the
public health importance of STI, through the classical
STDs and HIV/AIDS, health
promotion, prevention, counseling, medico-legal issues
to the ontrol and management of
STI. |
