The first part of this course focuses on the brain and central nervous system. The students are taught how these systems work, and some psychiatric functions are included. The functions and anatomy of the eye, ear and balance are also subjects in this semester. Growth and development are important subjects in the first semester. This includes conception, embryology, birth, infant and juvenile development, aging process and death. Genetics, ethics and pelvic anatomy are taught in the first semester.

The second semester starts with microbiology, immunology, endocrinology and nephrology. Then follows lectures on medical statistics and -epidemiology, before a larger session with pathology. The last part of the semester is devoted to pharmacology, environmental medicine and toxicology. Throughout the semesters, there will be different types of teaching, like lectures, seminars, clinics, group work, mandatory PBL work, and relevant lab courses and microscopy practice.
