Biomedical Sciences

Educational Process

Our Biomedical Sciences course at IEU, Poland gives students a grounding in a range of medically related disciplines, including physiology, pharmacology, neuroscience, cell biology, microbiology, anatomy and histology, genetics, biochemistry, and immunology. Students learn how to apply biology-based science for medical use through research, health monitoring, or treatment. Students benefit from the course’s strong focus on practical experience, which provides a sound basis for a career at the forefront of medical research and other roles both within and outside the lab. Students benefit from a wide range of teaching and learning methods that suit the content and aims of each course unit. Biomedical Sciences at IEU, Poland give students an insight into the complex nature of the human body and the countless different systems that make it up. It’s crucial for medicine, and through studying and working in the chosen field, students help to improve other people’s health and well-being.

After graduating students are able:

• Students demonstrate knowledge of the central dogma of biology and predict outcomes when the process malfunctions.
• Students demonstrate an ability to use evolutionary theory and related equations to model and predict population change or stability.
• Students demonstrate an ability to evaluate the impact of structure/part modification on a biological system and/or relationships between systems.
• Students demonstrate the application of the formal practices of observation, experimentation, and hypothesis testing.
• Students demonstrate an ability to evaluate pertinent values to ethical dilemmas using multiple ethical frameworks.
• Students demonstrate an ability to communicate knowledge about a research topic including organization, critical analysis, content, presentation, formatting, and stylistic choices.
• Students be able to apply their understanding of the fundamentals of chemistry and biology to explain the key principles of biochemistry, microbiology, and molecular and cellular biology.
• Students can consistently develop strategies to produce accurate solutions to complex quantitative and qualitative problems.
• Students demonstrate competency in the ability to work well both independently and collaboratively and to conduct, analyze, and report research findings.
• Students exercise responsible and ethical conduct in scholarship and research demonstrating honesty, accuracy, efficiency, and objectivity while upholding the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.
• Students be able to successfully demonstrate synthetic and integrative thinking when applying the scientific method from the development of a hypothesis, design and implementation of experiments, and data analysis, to the formation of plausible conclusions that are relevant to the chosen field.
• Students be able to effectively, clearly, and accurately communicate both published and novel research findings in several ways, including but not limited to the acquisition and maintenance of data records, written manuscripts, oral presentations, and multimedia presentations as they relate to the current knowledge of the chosen field.
• Students demonstrate competent use of appropriate technology to observe and accurately characterize molecular and cellular phenomena.
• Formulate a biomedical problem, translate it into a scientific question, and determine an experimental strategy to deal with it.
• Manipulate biological and chemical equipment, demonstrating manual dexterity and observing laboratory best practices, including safety and waste management standards.
• Use measuring and imaging instruments appropriately, as well as the IT tools associated with them.
• Ensure effective reproducibility through accurate and thorough know-how.
• Robustly analyze the observations to draw interpretations from them; identify analogical and deductive reasonings; identify correlation and causality.
• Based on the above reasonings, present a detailed argument of the results by comparing them with the bibliographical data (critical analysis).
• Recognize the failures and identify their causes.
• Understand and employ a precise biomedical vocabulary adapted to the applications of biomedicine.
• Draft a precise protocol, note the observations in detail in a laboratory notebook, and write a clear, informative, and exhaustive report on a series of observations or experiments.
• Use the rules enabling effective verbal communication of projects, published data, or the results of experiments.
• Demonstrate the internal consistency of the results and incorporate them into the published knowledge bases.
