Medical Immunology is a branch of biomedical science that covers the study of immune systems in human body. It charts, measures, and contextualizes the: physiological functioning of the immune system in states of both health and diseases; malfunctions of the immune system in immunological disorders (such as autoimmune diseases, hypersensitivities, immune deficiency, and transplant rejection); the physical, chemical and physiological characteristics of the components of the immune system in vitro, in situ, and in vivo. Immunology has applications in numerous disciplines of medicine, particularly in the fields of organ transplantation, oncology, virology, bacteriology, parasitology, psychiatry, and dermatology.

Medical microbiology is a branch of medical science concerned with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases. In addition, this field of science studies various clinical applications of microbes for the improvement of health. There are four kinds of microorganisms that cause infectious disease: bacteria, fungi, parasites and viruses and one type of infectious protein called a prion.

Preventive medicine consists of measures taken for disease prevention

A science dealing with the collection,analysis,interpretation,and presentation of numerical data

Pathology is a basic course for clinical medicine, which addresses four components of disease, cause/etiology, mechanisms of development (pathogenesis), structural alterations of cells (morphologic changes), and the consequences of changes (clinical manifestations).

Pharmacology is the study of the interactions that occur between a living organism and chemicals that affect normal or abnormal biochemical function.

Physiology is a science of studying normal biological functions, and the regulatory factors involved in these functions. Contents of this course include: cellular fundamental functions; blood; blood circulation; respiration; digestion and absorption; energy metabolism and body temperature; urine formation and excretion; function of the sensory organs; function of the nervous systems; endocrine and reproduction.

This course introduces the student to the discipline and profession of health education. Students will examine the concepts of health and wellness, the determinants of health behavior, national health status, the history of health education and health promotion. The student will recognize health education as an important foundation for population-based health care.

Health Service Management provides a framework for addressing management problems in health care organizations. By the end of the course you will have been exposed to many management ideas, theories and applications.

The course is designed to give a panoramic review on the history of worldwide medicine within the context of the evolution of human medicine, meanwhile utilizing a comparative perspective between western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine as the mainline. In the course, the features and value of Chinese medicine will be highlighted in the background of world history of medicine, so as to provide students a full and profound understanding of evolution trajectory and development trend of world medicine. It is hoped that the students will benefit from such a multi-dimension and multi-aspect approach of understanding medicine. Both case-based discussion and team cooperation learning will be organized and structured in the course planning, encouraging students to listen to and ingest opinions and insights from different perspectives, and reflect on some controversial issues, such as the dispute between Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine, Religion, Medicine and Therapy. The ability of critical thinking will be paid more attention; through some endeavor, the experience of multiple dimensional thinking and the concern about such issues might be integrated into the medical students' future professional and social practices related with medical technology.
