Clinical Science
Exam Materials
Course Introduction
Clinical Science is an interdisciplinary field that integrates basic biomedical principles with the application of scientific knowledge to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of human diseases. The course explores the underlying mechanisms of disease, clinical research methodologies, evidence-based practices, and the translation of laboratory findings into clinical settings. Students learn to critically assess clinical data, understand patient care protocols, and apply ethical reasoning in a healthcare environment. Emphasis is placed on the interaction between patient physiology, pharmacology, pathology, and medical interventions, preparing students for advanced study or professional practice in health and medical sciences.
