Course Content
The curriculum consists of required core courses (Anatomy, Histology and Embryology, Medical Biochemistry, Medical Biology, Medical Genetics, Medical Microbiology, Clinical Practice, Problem-Based Learning, Medical Education and Informatics) and elective courses. Theoretical courses are held in seminar rooms with full attendance; practical sessions take place in the Anatomy Model Room and the Basic Medical Sciences Laboratories.
Objectives of the Course
In this course:
• Basic anatomical terminology; the definition and importance of anatomy; the correct pronunciation and spelling of anatomical terms; the systems that make up the human body;
• The history of genetics and the evolutionary path of living organisms to the present day; general definitions of topics in the field of medical genetics;
• The ability to define the place of microorganisms in the living world; the structure of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites; the classification, nutrition, and reproduction of microorganisms;
• How histological techniques are applied, their principles and purposes, which techniques should be used to examine different tissues and cells, and which chemical substances are used in these techniques and for what purposes;
• The course aims to teach medical practice, Basic Life Support, and practical application training.
