Microbiology

Resources for those working in microbiology including links to upcoming College and CPD-accredited events. 

Microbiology gives endless opportunities for research, publications, presentations and teaching, so if you want to be involved in academic activities, this specialty might suit you. Personally, I enjoy dealing with unusual or rare cases of infection... Such cases require literature research and discussions with various experts, and you can learn a lot from them.
