Basic Science Stream

The Basic Science Stream is an integrated pre-clinical curriculum that blends three disciplines: Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry. By integrating these three key disciplines and linking them to clinical practice, BSS intends to foster students with foundational knowledge, basic skills, and the critical thinking required to excel as future healthcare professionals.

 

The BSS also includes integrated assessments. By integrating assessments, students are able to test their learning by means of applying their knowledge effectively in clinical scenarios. Therefore, the integrated approach benefits students by promoting a holistic understanding of medical sciences fostering critical thinking that promotes active involvement in learning. As a matter of fact, this lays a strong foundation for future clinical practice. Students are encouraged to engage in case-based learning, small group discussions, and practical exercises to make their learning relevant to address clinical situations. Therefore, through such integrated learning, students are encouraged to comprehend basic science concepts applied for diagnosing, managing, and treating patients.
