For many years, the Microbiology Institute together with the Institute of Virology has hosted special medical education seminars on infectious diseases for local physicians and physicians of the Universitätsklinikum. Furthermore, our coworkers provide teaching and training services for the local public technical college (i.e. for medical assistants) as well as for the academy for health and care professionals.
