A. BACKGROUND
“The Musketeers” course is an intensive course on basic immunology and immunodiagnostic. This course was started in 2001 run by a collaboration between Faculty of Medicine Universitas Gadjah Mada and Vrije Universiteit, the Netherlands to establish an international standardized course on immunology. Since 2009 the Faculty of Medicine Universitas Gadjah Mada is considered to be able to organized the course without any further assistance from Vrije Universiteit. The course is divided into 2 terms; 3 weeks in February and 3 weeks in the following April or May, and are conducted in English. More than 60 alumni are working in several fields of immunology at Universitas Gadjah Mada, University of Indonesia, Brawidjaya University ,Airlangga University, Hasanuddin University and others. We are encouraging the alumni to establish links and cooperation in research and education on immunology. Since the spirit of this course is “Teach the Teachers” for spreading the science of immunology in Indonesia, several alumni are also invited to teach in this course and in the advance course of immunology, which is held during the second term of the Musketeers course. All of the participants who pass the exam will get diploma, with transferable 5 credit system units, signed by the Dean of Faculty of Medicine Universitas Gadjah Mada.
