I. GENERAL INFORMATION
II. SUMMARY
Theoretical-practical subject that develops competence for understanding practical problems related to the
interpretation of nature with a rational explanation of biology, physics and chemistry with the
understanding and assimilation of fundamental concepts and a critical mentality that allows the entrant to
apply them in the area of health sciences.
3.1 Components:
3.1.1 Skills:
General competence
• Explains the chemical and biological phenomena in the field of health sciences, using the
principles and laws that govern them and assessing their integrated application in the
work of health science professionals. In addition, they use digital tools and media in
synchronous and asynchronous communication to intervene responsibly and ethically in
digital environments that strengthen the development of their professional training.
Specific skills
• It explains the origin of the universe, energy, elements and their interactions, life and the
laws that govern it, the evolution of matter to a social level governed by the values that
govern a person, applying them in the structuring of the evolution of matter.
• Recognizes the role of the elements in nature and the importance of their cycles in life.
• He is interested in understanding the value of the energy stored in chemical elements and their
use by the cell for its biological processes.
• He feels admiration for life and his commitment to it.
• Analyze the consequences of interfering with natural laws.
• Assume ethical conduct regarding environmental issues.
• Recognize biomolecules and discuss their biological importance
• He is interested in knowing the functions of biomolecules in the biological processes of living
beings.
• Discusses the importance of consuming nutrients that help in the formation of biomolecules
for proper functioning and maintenance of the body.
• Shows interest in scientific advances.
• Assess the importance of DNA and RNA in the conservation of the species
4.2 Profile of the graduate of the School of General Studies in the Area of Health Sciences
Graduates of the School of General Studies in Health Sciences have a comprehensive basic education
focused on scientific, humanistic, philosophical and epistemological values and foundations that prepare

or conclusion and, as a consequence, the ability to propose an action to study it at a basic level. Ability
to combine or synthesize existing ideas, images or other original thinking and the experience of
thinking, reacting and working in an imaginative mode, characterized by a high level of motivation,
divergent thinking and risk taking.
• Social Responsibility
Ethical reasoning: Ability to reason about what is appropriate and what is wrong in human behavior. It
requires students to be able to evaluate their own ethical values and the social context of problems,
recognizing ethical dilemmas in a variety of circumstances. Students acquire their own ethical identity,
which must evolve with them in their university and professional life.
• Leadership
Study and work to make a difference in the civic life of our communities and develop the combination
of knowledge, skills, values and motivation to make a difference. This means achieving increasing
individual development by promoting the quality of life of the community to which you belong, which
may initially be your neighborhood, then the organizations you join, without losing sight of the needs at
the national or global level.
