FK10 Quantitative knowledge, critical thinking, and informatics tools

FK9 Sociology, psychology, ethics and other behavioral sciences

FK8 Pharmacology

FK7 Biology of microorganisms in physiology and pathology

FK6 General and disease-specific pathology to assess patient risk

FK5 Cellular and molecular bases of immune and non-immune host defense mechanisms

FK4 Principles of genetic, congenital and developmental diseases and conditions and theirclinical features to understand patient risk

FK2 Physics and chemistry to explain normal biology and pathobiology

FK3 Physics and chemistry to explain the characteristics and use of technologies and materials
