INTEGRATED BASIC SCIENCES - Course description

Integrated Basic Science (IBS) is a simulation-based course consisting of 31 hours of laboratories. The main objective of the course is to integrate the students‘ knowledge of human anatomy and physiology. The IBS course develops an understanding of the structure and function of some of the key systems in the human body. It covers the human anatomy and physiology including anatomical terminology, basic biochemistry, and the nervous, cardiovascular and pulmonary systems. The IBS course also introduces common human disease processes.

The laboratory consists of two parts: introduction – problem-based learning and simulation session. During simulation session students use manikins and are able to observe the physiological reactions in correlation to the anatomical conditions.

To prepare for the laboratories student is obligated to read the material according to the schedule posted online on the Laboratory of Medical Simulation website from the books used for anatomy and physiology course. Before the course starts the course’ coordinator presents the Rules and Regulations of the Department and Code of Honor. Each student is obligated to know both documents and confirm it with signature.

During the course student is obligated to participate in active way in the classes.
