 In order to achieve this, didactic and hands on laboratory courses are combined to give students a solid foundation in fields such as biochemistry, histology, gross anatomy, neurobiology and physiology.Coursework during the second year focuses more on both variations and abnormalities that affect the organ systems of the human body, and ways to recognize and treat such pathology.Courses that cover this material include systems pathology, microbiology/immunology, and pharmacology.
