2ND SEMESTER
Basic Medical Sciences I
Medical Informatics (MD1008) ECTS
Through lectures, technology demonstrations and laboratory exercises the students will learn to familiarize themselves with the use of computer systems for educational kai medical practice needs. They will also learn relevant terminology and the importance of computer networking. They will also be introduced to the concepts of different medical data types and medical images as well as the content and importance of biomedical data and data processing. Students will learn to describe in terms of algorithms and logical steps medical processes and problems. They will learn to seek valid and up-to-date medical information on the internet and through specialized medical knowledge databases. Students will learn to appreciate the importance of the patient electronic health record and its uses. Students will understand the role and importance of medical information flow and management in medical health information systems and telemedicine systems. Last, they will learn to dynamically use new technologies during their education.

Anatomy I (MD1009) ECTS
During the lectures: Goal is the acquisition of basic anatomical knowledge in the areas of Osteology, Syndesmology and Myology, that will help the students understand the physiology, pathology and surgery of the human musculoskeletal system. The anatomical terminology is particularly emphasized, with all the anatomical terms regarding relation, location, direction, comparison and kinesiology, of the parts and areas of the body as well as the landmarks of the human body. During practical classes: Goal is the distinction and recognition onto the anatomical model and the dried human bones of the anatomical characteristics of the bones, ligaments, muscles and joints.

English Medical Terminology (MD1013) ECTS
When medical terms are separated from their intended context it is easy to lose sight of how important it is to use them accurately and precisely. This course teaches medical terminology in the context of the medical setting. Students learn the medical terminology used in all medical specialties and body systems through the context of anatomy and physiology, pathology, and therapeutic and diagnostic procedures and tests. Web-based learning platforms provide students with the necessary tools to learn the vast number of medical terms through interactive tools and games and engage them on a continuous learning and testing process throughout the semester.
