In today’s healthcare environment, a strong foundation in microbiology and epidemiology is essential for both allied health, microbiology students, and future clinicians. This presentation will showcase how GIDEON helps educators at community colleges and universities bring these subjects to life with real-world data and interactive tools. Drawing on case studies from Hillsborough Community College, Advent Health University, the University of Florida, Universidad Científica del Sur, and Luzerne Community College, we’ll explore how GIDEON enhances student engagement and critical thinking through pathogen identification, case-based learning and differential diagnosis, and even outbreak simulations. Whether teaching in allied health or microbiology, GIDEON saves faculty time while growing student engagement at impressive rates of up to 1,440% per year.
