4. Course general Description:
This course covers general and systemic pathology topics. It focuses on the
morphological and structural changes that occur in diseases. Selected gross and
microscopical illustrations are used to enable the student to recognize the tissue and cell
morphological changes in disease. It also correlated the pathology of disease to
pathophysiological changes. And links the pathology to clinical and diagnostic aspects of
disease.
5. Pre-requirements for this course (if any):
PHSL 201
6. Co-requisites for this course (if any):
None
7. Course Main Objective(s):
By the end of this course the student will be able to:
? Identify fundamental disease patterns and their underlying mechanisms within the specific
organ system.
? Describe the different gross and microscopic lesions as a step in developing their clinical sense
for diagnosing various diseases.
? Recognize the essential knowledge for their clinical rounds and to prepare them for their
subsequent clinical careers.
? Develop the basic scientific skills as well as effective communication and teamwork attitudes.
