Skill:

1. demonstrate evidence of predetermined level of knowledge of the structure and function of the human body including growth, development, senescence and death and be able to identify deviation from normal.
2. perform learning skill such as problem solving ability and self-directed learning.
3. identify, conduct and interpret essential laboratory tests in relation to medicine.
4. undertake simple surveys under supervision; identify common community/family health problems.

Attitude:

1. aware of medicine as a continuum of normal, deviation from normal and the correction of the deviation with the greatest emphasis on the normal in the class.
2. develop sound attitude regarding the importance of physiology as the basic for understanding clinical disciplines
3. develop sound attitude of self education through critical reading and problem-solving ability
