Department of Pathology and Forensic Medicine
Vision:
Keeping pace with the sciences of medical and biochemistry.
General Objectives of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry
Building a foundational base for students to prepare them for studying clinical subjects in later years through teaching them numerous theoretical and practical topics related to clinical subjects such as lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, and hormones. Additionally, ensuring that all students, regardless of race, gender, nationality, language, or religion, acquire upon graduation the basic competencies, skills, and knowledge that prepare them to perform well as doctors and engage in medical research to serve society, providing effective solutions to common health problems. Furthermore, preparing and encouraging students for lifelong learning by continuing to develop skills, using technology optimally, and motivating them to pursue further reading and obtain specialization certificates in clinical or pathological chemistry.
