Courses

Overview

Students will get an earlier exposure to biomedical research and a focus training on human health.
More emphasis will be placed on enhancing the students’ laboratory skills and research abilities.
New third year level courses were created to develop a comprehensive understanding of the molecular basis of diseases.
A large variety of advanced laboratories will be offered to fourth year students to provide them with the basic tools required to tackle modern biomedical research challenges.
Clinicians in the Faculty of Medicine will contribute to student training, which will formidably enhance their learning experience.
Limited enrolment to all new courses will foster student-professor interaction. Enrolment to the program itself will initially be limited to 80 students.
Professors will use hybrid course formats that promote active learning. Courses will involve fewer traditional lectures and, as appropriate, either CBL, PBL, team-learning, self-learning, online activities, etc.
Within the first year in the program, students will complete two research projects in the laboratories of two researchers working in different areas of biomedical research.
The Honours project is expanded to 12 credits, allowing students to better develop their research skills and tackle more ambitious challenges.

Research programs in the faculty of medicine can be broadly separated in seven research areas including:

Third-year courses

Fourth-year courses
