The fundamental discoveries in the structure of biopolymers, molecular mechanisms of information storage and transmission, gene cloning, mechanisms of specific protein biosynthesis, and regulation of metabolic processes at the molecular, cellular, and organ levels have formed the basis for new perspectives on the essence of vital processes. Clearly, these achievements in biochemistry should play a significant role in the education of medical students.
Furthermore, diagnosing a disease and administering appropriate treatment involve a number of cognitive processes, starting with the selection of symptoms from the thousands of diagnostic signs known to modern medicine. The selected symptoms form a clinical picture, based on which conclusions are drawn about the nature of the disease, and ultimately, a diagnosis is made, which becomes the basis for determining treatment methods. The nature of the disease, as well as the targets and mechanisms of action of therapeutic measures, are described using the terminology and concepts of morphology, physiology, and biochemistry. It is important to emphasize that comprehensive knowledge of these disciplines is crucial for clinicians: only together do they provide a description and understanding of the disease’s essence, the normal conditions of the body, and the effects of therapeutic measures. For students majoring in “General Medicine”.
