Course Content
The curriculum consists of required core courses (Anatomy, Medical Biochemistry, Histology and Embryology, Medical Genetics, Clinical Practice, Evidence-Based Medicine, 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:
• The names of all bones in the human body, their locations, the anatomical structures on them, the types and processes of ossification, bone types, and the sections and formation of all bones in the body;
• The histological characteristics of epithelial, connective, cartilage, and bone tissues;
• The structure of DNA and mutations, as well as the structure and anomalies of chromosomes;
• The course on medical practice, which aims to teach patient-physician relationships.
