chemistry..etc).

In the second year the students learn & practice in the field of basic medical sciences

such as (anatomy, physiology, microbiology histology etc) & basic dental sciences

such as (oral histology, oral & teeth, anatomy.etc)

2. Second stage (the transitional stage) : Includes the third year in which the student
