- The main aims of the course are:
1) getting knowledge of informations necessary to apply diagnostic metods and procedures in pathology
2) fournish the student the knowledge of the main gross and histological lesions of the respiratory, cardiocirculatory and skeletal system.
3) allow the student to understand pathogenetic patways of lesions.
4) let the student get the knowledge of the anatomohistopathological pictures of the main diseases affecting each system. Practical training has the goal to let the student to be able to perform necropsies, pathological examinations of surgical samples, cytological and histological evaluations. Furthermore it will allow the student to acquire the knowledge in identification, interpretation and classification of elemetary lesions as to achieve a I level morphological diagnosis with references to possible etiologies.
5) allow the studet to get a properly description and language.Lectures and practical sessions not performed for serious reasons will be recovered in times to be concorded woth the students - Teaching methods
- The course is organized as follows:
Lectures on all subjects of the course
Practical lessons during which students perform necropsies of carcasses or examinations of viscera from the slaughterhouse
Practical lessons during which the students are asked to describe pathological images
Practical self-directed activities during which students are asked to use multimedial systems and apply problem-solving methods
Practical self-directed activities during which students are asked to focus on a subject of the course by reading a scientific paper and to communicate the results to classmates - Extended program
