Module: General pathology
General Course Objectives:
Understand the etiological bases and pathogenetic mechanisms of major human pathologies.
Recognize how molecular and cellular foundations of pathological processes contribute to the development of innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in personalized medicine.
Familiarize yourself with the fundamental physiopathological mechanisms of major systems and organs.
Specific Course Objectives:
Knowledge and understanding: Passing the exam ensures knowledge of etiological bases and pathogenetic mechanisms of major human diseases, as well as understanding fundamental physiopathological mechanisms of major systems and organs.
Application of knowledge and understanding: Passing the exam guarantees the ability to appreciate how molecular and cellular foundations of pathological processes are valuable for developing innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in personalized medicine.
Autonomy of judgment: Passing the exam implies the capacity to critically evaluate etiological bases and pathogenetic mechanisms of major human diseases, along with understanding fundamental physiopathological mechanisms.
Communication skills: Passing the exam involves effectively using communication tools specific to scientific publications. These skills are acquired through emphasis on scientific terminology and technical rhetoric.
Learning capacity: Passing the exam signifies transversal learning abilities common to the logic of scientific investigation in the biomedical field.
