*This medical syllabus copied and edited from 2 manual books for 3rd semester medical student from my university during my era.
**The topic currently discussed for 3rd semester medical student in my university may different from this syllabus due to progression of medical knowledge and improvement of quality for medical syllabus based on my university assessment.
