Knowledge of medical biology and biophysics in the extent of subjects taught at Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University. - Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
- fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- General Medicine (eng.) (programme LF, M-VL)
- General Medicine (programme LF, M-VL)
- Course objectives
- To teach students to understand and interprete various functions of human body.
- Learning outcomes
- At the end of the course, students will:
- have sufficient theoretical background required for profession of physician.
- be able to recall principles of human body functions in detail - from a cell level, across particular organs to a complex human organism.
- be able to explain relationships among chemical, physical and biological factors of living processes.
- An essential aim is that students acquire critical scientific thinking, ability of independent text analysis and fundamental information selection. - Syllabus
