• Dental Basic Sciences Department:

Department of dental basic sciences includes different medical specialties that the students of the College of Dentistry learn the basic medical sciences that accompany and go side by side with other dental sciences through the first three years. Basic medical sciences are essential for building proper medical education in order to build knowledge and a foundation for practicing dental and medical sciences.

Primarily, we are concentrating first on basic sciences like physics, basic biochemistry, and biology in the first year, then after we take the students through normal human medical sciences like physiology, anatomy, and histology, all are including the general and oral parts. Last, we build a general medical knowledge to grow a medically thinking mind to behave like a physician, by giving the students subjects like: general medicine, general surgery, general pathology, medical pharmacology, and medical microbiology.

Our knowledge is always concentrated on the correlation between general/basic medical and dental sciences. Our department is a rapidly growing branch of college regarding human resources, as it includes many lecturers in different medical specialties with master's, PhD, and Board degrees, some of whom are general medical doctors.

Practical sessions are an important part of education, using well-equipped laboratories with the opportunity for students to work with their own hands, and the students will have contact experience with patients in teaching hospitals.

• Vision

Our vision is to provide a high level of basic and general medical sciences to build the foundation for practicing dental medicine properly.

• Mission

We are concentrating on giving basic sciences to dental students in order to understand the proper way of dealing with different dental diseases in terms of diagnosis and management.

• Objective

Making the students be oriented about the basic structures of the body.
Using the laboratory tests and procedures as tools to understand the role of laboratory medicine, which is crucial also for the future development of research.
Taking the students to look under the microscopic to the normal and abnormal tissue of the body to have an imagination about what changes are happening in our body in case of diseases.
Practicing medicine and contacting patients to know the history and physical examination, which is part of the diagnosis and management of every medical branch.
Pharmacology is an essential part of practicing medicine to know the interaction and effect of different drugs on the human body.
