Message from the Head of the Department

     The Department of Medical Science of Nursing primarily focuses on the basic medical sciences for nursing education. The Basic Medical Sciences Courses are theoretical and applied courses in health sciences, in the first or third year. These nursing courses help students relate knowledge to biostatistics, public health policy, and epidemiology. Thus, these courses aim to increase nursing students' academic success and are essential in exploring evidence in nursing care after graduation.
     The Department also offers a graduate program in policy epidemiology and public health.
