Subjects and disciplines taught in Biomedical Science degree

At my university
   1st Year:
- Human Physiology (by Silverthorn)
- Biology (focus on cell, molecular, biochemistry and genetics - Sadava textbook sufficient)
- Chemistry and Statistics: introductory
- Biochemistry and Genetics (Stryer or Voet and Anthony Griffiths)
- Microbiology (Brock Biology Microbiology 13th)
- Human in Health and Disease (by Barbara J. Cohen)

  2nd Year:
- Human Physiology and Pathology (detail on respiratory, cardiovascular, blood, endocrine, kidneys, histo)
- Laboratory Skills and Techniques (centrifugation, chromatography, optical methods, electrophoresis, immunoassays, etc.)
- Molecular Biology (by Craig, Molecular Biology: genome function or Lizabeth Alison)
- Metabolism (Essential Physiological Biochemistry by Stephen R. and Stryer/Voet)

Others being taught in other institutions
- Histopathology
- Evidenced Based Medicine
- Nutrition
- Pharmacology
- Endocrinology
- Neuroscience/Neurobiology
- Cancer Biology
- Developmental Biology and/or Embryology/ Developmental Genetics
- Anatomy
- Histology
- Enzymology
- Proteins
- Chromosomes and Genes
- Genomics
- Proteomics
- Metabolomics
- Epidemiology
- Toxicology
- Virology, Parasitology, Mycology, etc.
- Biology of Ageing
- Biochemistry and Genetics of Disease

Resources: the most important in my opinion are Anatomy & Physiology, Voet/Stryer Biochemistry, Genetics, Microbiology, Molecular and Cell biology, Pathology, Immunology, The fundamental book series from biomedical sciences books may also be good for someone to get a grid on Biomedical Science!
