PATH 200 - General and Systemic Pathology

[123 Hours]

This course is an introduction to the study of disease, its causes, its mechanisms, and its effects upon the body. General Pathology, the first part of the course, concentrates on reactions of cells and tissue to different types of injury, as well as inflammatory and neoplastic processes. In Systemic Pathology, the second part of the course, the basic principles are applied to each organ system. Each disease is related to the clinical signs and symptoms encountered in patients. The subject material is taught by lectures, laboratory sessions, and selected case studies, using fixed tissue, virtual slides, video clips, and selected web-based, independent learning modules.
