- Explain the causes and mechanisms of major human diseases, including genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.
- Describe the principles of pharmacology and toxicology, including the mechanisms of drug action and the effects of toxins on the human body.
- Apply knowledge of biostatistics and epidemiology to understand the distribution and determinants of health and disease in populations.
- Analyze and interpret biomedical data, including laboratory tests and medical imaging, to diagnose and manage diseases.
- Evaluate the evidence-based practice of medicine, including the design and interpretation of clinical trials.
- Communicate complex biomedical information effectively to diverse audiences, including healthcare professionals, patients, and policymakers.
- Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, while being able to Communicate scientific knowledge effectively.Apply ethical and legal principles to biomedical research and practice, including issues related to informed consent, confidentiality, and intellectual property.
