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. 2.

K4 Lectures Practical sessions Written exams (MCQs including case studies Practical Examination (OSPE). 1.2 Recognize the morphologic (gross & microscopic) changes occurring as a result of such disease processes in various organ systems K2 1.3 Outline the medico-legal aspects of the practice of pathology. K1 1.4 Diefine the pathologic picture of a disorder based on gross or microscopic morphology. K2 2.0 Skills 2.1 Analyze various gross and microscopic pathologic data resulting from the disease process. S1 Lectures Practical sessions Written exams (MCQs including case studies Practical Examination (OSPE). 2.2 Interpret the signs and symptoms of a disease based on the underlying gross & microscopic tissue changes responsible for symptomatology and physical changes in the patient. S1 2.3 Recognize the outcome & complications of each particular disease and outline the general management procedures S1 2.4 Follow the update knowledge concerning the course demand with the development of the concept of selflearning. S1 3.0 Values, autonomy, and responsibility 3.1 Express themselves freely and adequately by improving their descriptive capabilities and enhancing their communication skills and teamwork.
