title: [The basic biomedical subjects are of undiminished importance in the training of medical doctors].
abstract: The contemporary physician is not merely a professional who is trained in the recognition of clinical syndromes and the application of evidence-based medicine. A good understanding of the basic biomedical sciences is necessary to comprehend what is wrong with a patient and what form of treatment is the most appropriate, especially if a disease manifests itself in an unfamiliar way.
