Medicine
Base Level: Foundational Knowledge
Human Anatomy
Basic anatomical terminology (e.g., terms of location and direction)
Major body systems (skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, etc.)
Fundamental anatomical structures and functions (e.g., organs and their roles)
Pathology
Basic definitions (disease, health, pathology)
Common pathological terms (e.g., inflammation, necrosis)
Introduction to disease classification (infectious, genetic, degenerative)
Second Level: Intermediate Concepts
Human Anatomy
Detailed study of organ systems (e.g., respiratory, digestive)
Anatomical relationships (e.g., vascular and nervous system anatomy)
Developmental anatomy (embryology basics)
Pathology
Understanding etiology (causes of diseases)
Disease processes (pathogenesis)
Common diseases and their pathology (e.g., diabetes, cancer)
Third Level: Application and Integration
Pharmacology
Basic pharmacological principles (pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics)
Drug classifications and mechanisms of action
Common medications and their uses
Medical Ethics
Principles of medical ethics (autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice)
Ethical decision-making models in medicine
Case studies illustrating ethical dilemmas
Fourth Level: Advanced Understanding
Pharmacology
Advanced pharmacotherapy (evidence-based practice)
Pharmacogenomics (personalized medicine)
Drug interactions and adverse effects
Medical Ethics
Advanced topics in ethics (e.g., end-of-life care, informed consent)
Ethical considerations in research and clinical practice
Policy implications and health care law
Top Level: Synthesis and Evaluation
Interdisciplinary Integration
How anatomy informs pathology (e.g., anatomical abnormalities leading to disease)
Pharmacology's role in managing pathologies (drug selection based on anatomy and pathology)
Ethical implications in the use of pharmaceuticals and treatment approaches
Critical Thinking and Research
Engaging in evidence-based practice
Evaluating new research in anatomy, pathology, pharmacology, and ethics
Contributing to discussions on ethical practices in medicine and healthcare
