Course Content
The curriculum consists of compulsory core courses (Anatomy, Physiology, Medical Biochemistry, Histology and Embryology, Pharmacology, Medical Practice, Evidence-Based Medicine, Community-Based Medicine) and elective courses. Theoretical courses are taught in lecture halls with full attendance. Practical sessions are conducted in the Anatomy Model Room and Basic Medical Sciences Laboratories.
Objectives of the Course
In the course board; • The development and localization of the structures that make up the endocrine, reproductive and excretory systems, the anatomical, microscopic, functional and biochemical properties of these structures, and the ability to consolidate this information with clinical information • The development of the endocrine system and the anatomical and histological features of the endocrine glands • Physiological and biochemical analysis of hormones, hypothalamo-pituitary hormonal system and its functioning • The development of the urogenital system and the microscopic and macroscopic features and functions of the structures that make up the system • It is aimed to teach detailed basic information about the body's water and inorganic composition, homeostasis, menstrual cycle, pregnancy and lactation.
