PATH 518 - General Pathology

7 Cr. Hrs.

In this course, students will be introduced to the mechanisms of human disease. Students will apply knowledge from other courses including anatomy, embryology, genetics, physiology, and microbiology/immunology as they apply to all major classes of disease. Specifically, students will explore reversible and irreversible cellular injury, cellular accumulations, inflammation, wound healing and repair, cell death, infectious disease, coagulation disorders, genetic diseases, and mechanisms of neoplasia. Students will begin to apply their understanding of general pathology to clinical manifestations of disease. This course seeks to facilitate integration of material from other basic sciences courses and apply these to clinical practice. Inclusion of patient case studies will be used to reinforce basic science concepts. In addition, students will participate in a journal club, interprofessional education grand rounds, and prepare a project highlighting an area of disease research and potential clinical applications.
