Choose your phase!
Preclinical Phase:
The preclinical phase in medicine refers to the early stage of medical education and research that occurs before students and researchers directly interact with patients. This phase is primarily focused on building a strong foundation of scientific knowledge and understanding the fundamental principles of medical sciences as anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, and pathology.
Clinical Phase:
Postclinical Phase: The postclinical phase, also known as the clinical phase or clerkship phase, comes after the preclinical phase. This phase involves direct interaction with patients and hands-on clinical experiences. It focuses on applying the theoretical knowledge gained during the preclinical phase to real patient scenarios and developing practical skills necessary for patient care.
