By the end of the course, students will have acquired the fundamentals of inorganic and organic chemistry, physics, medical statistics, and electrical and electronic measurements. Students will understand and learn to apply the methodological tools for understanding and applying the laws governing chemistry, physics, statistics, and electrical and electronic measurements.

Basic knowledge of high school science subjects (science, mathematics, physics) is essential. A methodological and scientific approach are equally important.

Lessons are held face-to-face, in the classroom with the projection of explanatory slides and explanations by the professors.

Mandatory with paper-based attendance recording.

The exam includes written and oral tests, designed to verify the students' knowledge.

An aqueous solution (1.5 L) of NaCl has a concentration of 3 mM. If 500 mL of water is added, what is the salt concentration?
