Component Description
(summary, especially important for elective
Components)
Component Objectives:
Generic Learning Outcomes:
Subject Specific Learning
The systemic pathology course deals with pathology and pathophysiology of
disease in by organ systems, deals with demonstration of gross, and/or
microscopic features of the disease entities
The following teaching methodologies will be used:
• Didactic lectures: discussing a particular topic at length in an one hour
lecture.
• Paraclinical seminars: are conducted by a combined team of
pathologist and a clinician who discuss the pathophysiology and
clinical aspects of the particular disease entity.
• Case studies: The significant and common diseases are discussed in
the form of a representativeclinical case in which the clinical features,
the course of the disease in that particular patient and relevant
laboratory investigations are discussed by a clinical faculty in an
interactive manner. This is followed by demonstration of the gross and
microscopic features of the disease in that case by the pathologist.
This is followed by clinico-pathologic correlation.
The main objective of the teaching of undergraduate student in
systemicPathology and systemic Pathophysiology is to provide the students
with a comprehensive knowledge of general mechanisms of disease, in
order to enable him/her to achieve complete understanding of the natural
history and clinical manifestations of various pathological conditions. The main
objective of Pathophysiology course is to present the mechanisms of disease
and the compensatory reactions of the organism.
After the completion of the course, the student will be able to:
- retrieve and analyse information from different sources;
- work autonomously as well as in team;
- communicate with experts in other fields;
- adapt to new situations.
The component will develop skills of independent work with different sources
of both academic and applied information, which will be useful for enhancing
the ability of students to develop independently their professional skills in the
future. The actively utilized group work activities will not only develop practical
skills of students to utilize obtained theoretical knowledge and ability to apply it
in a new environment, but also to improve their ability to work in a team,
effectively represent the results obtained , to communicate own judgements
and arguments to professional community.
Knowledge and awareness
 Outcomes • Demonstrate the ability to use basic behavioral and clinical science
(if applicable)
principles to analyse and solve problems related to pathology issues.
• Recognize and discuss the implications of altered structure and function
(pathology and pathophysiology) of the body and its major organ systems
that are seen in various diseases and conditions.
 Describe the molecular basis of diseases and maladies and the way in
which they affect the body (pathogenesis).
 Understand the etiopathogenesis, the pathological effects and the
clinico-pathological correlation of common infectious and non-infectious
diseases.
 Correlate normal and altered morphology (gross and microscopic) of
different organ systems in different diseases to the extent needed for
understanding of disease processes and their clinical significance.
• Have an understanding of the common disorders and the investigations
necessary to diagnose them and determine their prognosis
•
Capacity for applying knowledge in practice
• Demonstrate the application of the scientific bases of health and disease
to common and high impact medical conditions.
Decision-making
• Demonstrate the ability to analyze pathomorphological features of
disease and make appropriate conclusions on pathogenetic
mechanisms of its development that might serve as the basis for making
diagnostic and treatment decisions.
Capacity to learn
• Demonstrate the ability to acquire new information and data and to
critically appraise its validity and applicability including the application of
information systems technologies
 Describe strategies to support life-long learning via both print and
electronic sources to remain current with advances in medical knowledge
and practice.
Oral and written communication
• Communicate effectively in with classmates, health professionals and
representatives of society on issues related to pathological bases of the
diseases.
