Pathology and Biopsy Course (PAK_003)
About Study Course
Objective
1. 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. It also shapes the skills and competences in clinically oriented, theoretically justified, evidence-based thinking of the medical students.
2. To provide practical skills in the clinical application of diagnostic pathology.
Prerequisites
Human anatomy, histology and cell biology, genetics, physiology and biochemistry.
Learning outcomes
1.On successful completion of the course students will have obtained the knowledge in the above mentioned fields covering general and special pathology.
1.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, to interpret findings in laboratory investigations and biopsies, to select the appropriate laboratory and morphological tests for diagnostics and/ or evaluation of particular diseases.
1.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.
