The Mechanisms of Disease: Pathology & Pathophysiology Course integrates the study of the nature
of disease with the functional and structural changes that accompany
those disease processes. Students are provided both the knowledge about
structural and functional alterations that both cause and are the result
of these processes. As a result of this course, students will also achieve
greater skill in developing differential diagnoses related to these
diseases. This course is organized by body systems and all coursework
is coordinated with both the pharmacology and clinical diagnosis courses
to unify the concepts and the terminology of the subject matter. The
system blocks include: cardiology, pulmonary, renal, hematology, gastroenterology,
endocrinology/reproduction, and the central nervous system. The Mechanisms of Disease: Pathology & Pathophysiology
Course is taught by faculty from both the Department of Pathology and
many of the Clinical Deparments, using many educational methods including
lectures, case-based discussions, laboratory sessions, tutorials, and
computer-assisted instruction.
