Objectives of the Course

The purpose of term I medical education is for students to understand the basic molecular mechanisms of the human body. The cell, which is the smallest unit in which these mechanisms operate, and the tissues formed by cells will be examined. Thus, the infrastructure knowledge about the functioning of organs and systems will be gained.
