Department of Public Health
Introduction
Founded in 1977, the Department of Public Health & Medical Humanities was previously known as the “Department of Social Medicine”. The Public Health domain analyzes factors affecting population health and social and environmental problems, including health care topics related to new technologies, systems, and social changes. It explores the roles of doctors and their connections with social environments. The course planning consists of 6 credits, all compulsory. The goal of this domain is to reinforce in the medical students the required social science training. We assist medical students in cultivating every aspect they need to become clinical physicians. We strengthen their knowledge, skills, and cognition in the context of care, and we cultivate in them the capability to care for the disadvantaged and understand topics related to health care. By teaching students in small classes, we expand their opportunities to choose different courses. We encourage them to participate in class and strengthen their problem-solving abilities, while providing them with an education in humanities, ethics, and medical ethics required of modern students. This domain is now under the auspices of the Department of Public Health.
