Course Content
The curriculum consists of compulsory core courses (Anatomy, Physiology, Medical Biochemistry, Medical Microbiology, Histology and Embryology, Biophysics, Medical Practice, Evidence-Based Medicine, Community-Based Medicine) and elective courses. Theoretical courses are taught in lecture halls with full attendance. Practical sessions are held in the Anatomy Model Room and Basic Medical Sciences Laboratories.
Objectives of the Course
In the course board; • Developmental, macroscopic and microscopic structural and functional properties of the structures that make up the circulatory-respiratory system and the immune system • Detailed development of the structures of the heart, vascular and respiratory systems, as well as the hemopoietic system • It is aimed to teach detailed information about their functions in the light of physiological, biochemical and biophysical information.
