| Preliminary Knowledge: | Human anatomy, human histology and cell biology, genetics, normal physiology and biochemistry. | ||||||||
| Objective: | To ensure the studies in human pathology, covering morphological and functional aspects of general pathological processes and pathogenesis of different diseases. Thus the course of pathology serves as the basis for further clinical studies, including the different aspects of internal medicine, surgery, gynecology and other clinical specialties. | ||||||||

| Assessment | |||||||||
| Unaided Work: | Preparation for practical classes, participation in discussions on the study topic and/or preparation of presentations on study topic, thus improving the ability to concentrate on study topic, working with literature, presentation of the knowledge and conclusions and interaction with colleagues. | ||||||||
| Assessment Criteria: | Knowledge is assessed by regular multiple choice tests and colloquia during the studies, as well as by the examination at the end of the course. The skills are assessed by clinical exercises (including image analysis) in regular classes, colloquia and examination at the end of study course. The argumentation in the colloquia and exam disclose student's competences to apply the obtained knowledge in order to explain and analyse clinical situations, to predict the outcome and/or complications. | ||||||||

| Learning Outcomes | |||||||||
| Knowledge: | On successful completion of the course students will have obtained the knowledge in the above mentioned fields covering general and special pathology. | ||||||||
| Skills: | On successful completion of the course students will have gained the ability to describe and analyse pathogenesis of general pathological processes and certain diseases, to describe and analyse the pathological changes in the tissues. | ||||||||
| Competencies: | The competences on the pathogenesis of different diseases will allow to interpret clinical situations in regard to the underlying morphological and functional events, to predict the outcomes and complications. The theoretical understanding of the disease will become the basis for developing evidence-based clinical comptetences. | ||||||||
