HMEDSCI 205B
Foundational Medical Sciences
Beginning in this semester, you will learn all the foundational medical sciences through problem-based learning (PBL), which builds upon the foundation of physiological knowledge learned through TBL in your first semester. PBL is an evidence-based educational strategy underpinned by a constructivist philosophy of learning. The foundational medical sciences include, among others, pathology, pharmacology, biochemistry, immunology, microbiology, genetics, behavioral sciences, epidemiology, public health, medical sociology, and other social sciences.
Topics
- Create rich and elaborated causal networks that explain physiological processes. Develop and practice evidence-based self-regulated learning skills. Skillfully contribute to learning in collaborative teams. Develop communication skills that support effective teamwork.
