Infectious diseases are the focus of this Global Disease Masterclass course. They have chosen four disease categories to focus on: HIV, Malaria, Emerging Infectious Diseases (Ebola and Zika), and Tuberculosis (TB). They chose these diseases because they cover a wide variety of disease types and allow you to examine significant topics that are relevant to other diseases as well. They will approach each ailment in the same way: they will start with the disease's etiology and epidemiology. They then demonstrate how data on this disease can be used to deduce key trends and patterns.

They then look at the interventions that can be utilized to combat the condition, which usually includes both prevention and therapy, as well as how policies have been formed to combat the disease. They conclude by discussing the entire disease matter with an outside expert.
