The Open Education Initiative at Virginia Tech is pleased to announce the release of Microbiology, Pharmacology, and Immunology for Pre-Clinical Students (2025), adapted by Jennifer L. Cleveland; Andrew P. Binks; and Renée J. LeClair.
Microbiology, Pharmacology, and Immunology for Pre-Clinical Students is a peer-reviewed open textbook designed to fill a gap in undergraduate medical education (UME) and support medical school pre-clerkship education. It covers the areas of immunology, microbiology, systems-based infections, and global mechanisms of treatment. It is aligned to USMLE® (United States Medical Licensing Examination) and modified from OpenStax Microbiology.
