The School of Medical Sciences offers a total of 3 academic programs for teaching and learning
The Microbiology program
is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of medical microbiology and applied microbiology. This curriculum emphasizes a comprehensive knowledge of various microorganisms and possess analytical skills for their effective application.
Graduates can integrate their microbiological knowledge into the development of their own potential and community. They can apply their knowledge in research and contribute to innovations related to microbiology, leading to sustainable social, economic, and environmental development.
The Biochemistry program
aims to provide students with knowledge, understanding, and practical skills in the fields of biochemistry. The curriculum covers the structure and functions of biomolecules, cellular energy transformations, the synthesis and degradation of biomolecules through metabolic processes, and genetic mechanisms at both normal and abnormal conditions. These aspects are fundamental to understanding the origins of various diseases.
Additionally, the program includes learning and practicing skills in molecular biology, cell culture techniques, and current important biotechnology such as enzyme technology and phytochemical analysis.
Graduates can integrate and apply their knowledge and skills in basic and advanced research, thereby creating valuable knowledge in health science and technology that benefits the sustainable development of communities and society in the future.
The Nutrition and Dietetics program
is a curriculum that focuses on providing students with knowledge, understanding, and expertise in the field of nutrition, dietetics, and dietary planning.
The dietitian is an Important person in the medical field who can diagnose nutritional problems by assessing the nutritional status of patients, analyzing and planning nutritional therapy, providing counseling, monitoring progress, promoting nutrition, and restoring nutritional health.
The program also emphasizes the customization of diets to suit specific diseases and individual nutritional conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, kidney disease, obesity, cancer, and various infectious diseases. Additionally, the curriculum aims to produce graduates who possess ethics, morality, and a sense of responsibility towards themselves and the community.
In addition to the 3 programs, there are also 2 divisions responsible for teaching fundamental subjects to the courses in the Health Science group and preclinical subjects for medical students.
Anatomy
is the field of biology concerned with the study of the structures of organisms. It is divided into several branches, compose of human gross anatomy, histology, embryology, neuroanatomy and comparative anatomy.
Anatomist makes predictions about forms, since from follow functions. Here, we serve academic knowledge to paramedic, dental and medical students. Additionally, our researches address the gross anatomy and anatomical variation, forensic sciences, toxicology, comparative anatomy, molecular biology, and neurobiology. Our goal is to be the part of excellent research unit of School of Medical Sciences.
To follow the mission of the University of Phayao, we share our research knowledge to community in Northern Thailand.
Physiology
is the study of the control of normal functions, mechanisms and structures of living organisms of human body. The study of physiology involves learning core concepts and principles that are applied to the various organ systems including cellular physiology, body temperature regulation, nervous system, muscular system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, urinary system, endocrine system, and reproductive system.
Our division is responsible for teaching of physiology for students as they apply to humans. Our academic staff teach to various degrees in the School of Medicine, School of Nursing, School of Allied Health Sciences, School of Pharmacy, School of Dentistry, and School of Science.
In addition to teaching, we also conduct many projects of biomedical research which aimed at the integration of the various activities of cells, tissues and organs at the level of the intact organism. In many instances the solutions to physiological problems are of practical value in medicine or help in our understanding of our bodies and those of other animals.
