In the context of medical education, understanding the distinction between basic science and clinical departments is crucial for international students. Basic science departments focus on foundational knowledge in areas such as anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry, providing students with essential scientific insights. In contrast, clinical departments concentrate on applying this knowledge in real-world settings, where students engage in patient care and practical clinical skills. The following table summarizes the key differences between these departments as part of the MBBS curriculum.
