Minimum knowledge needed by students to understand the course concepts / internships / practical
lessons
Basic knowledge (high school) about:
anatomy and physiology of the body;
cell structure and function;
concepts of biochemistry, biophysics (from the first semester)
- acquiring the practical skills by the students on proper execution of some maneuvers, based on accurate
procedures and understanding the issues explored;
- education of medical students in the spirit of the accurateness of the medical act, and the understanding
of the basic science crucial role for its level and for their professional training.
