The Medical Biochemistry course is two courses presented MS in Medical Sciences students over the span of two semesters. In these courses, medical aspects are emphasized to build up the necessary background for future application in other basic sciences and clinical courses. Medical Biochemistry I includes the following units: Structural and functional relationships of proteins, biological membranes, energy generation, genetics and hormone reception. In this course, medical aspects are emphasized to build up the necessary background for future application in other basic sciences and clinical courses. This course is delivered in the form of recorded lectures with accompanying in class-sessions using the flipped classroom model, together with small group discussions of clinical cases. One of the main intentions of the small group discussions is for the students to apply the biochemical concepts learned in lectures to understand the molecular basis of a given disease
