- The Pathologic Anatomy training gives the opportunity for an in-deep analysis of gross and histological diagnostic and to acquire the right method for a morphological description compared to clinical data and findings coming from previous diagnostic investigations. Therefore, its aim is to give abilities to students to evaluate clinical cases based on gross and histopathologic findings. The course is compliant with the teaching aims (SUA A4.a) and employment outlets (SUA A2.a) of the Degree Course referred to physiopathology, etiopathogenesis, diagnosis and therapy of the main diseases of domestic animals, alone or in group.
D1. KNOWLEDGES AND COMPREHENSION ABILITIES.
The Student must acquire information about:
- appropriate methodology from clinical case to the anatomohistopathology diagnosis
- correlations between clinical and anatomohistopathology.
D2. KNOWLEDGES APPLICATION AND COMPREHENSION ABILITIES.
The Student must be able:
- to appropriately perform necropsy, in a complete autonomy
- to appropriately perform sampling aimed to cytological, histological, parasitological and infectious investigations
- to correctly write a report on gross lesions revealed at necropsy or on biopsy material
- to understand general criteria useful to interpret cytologic and histologic diagnosis.
D3. AUTONOMY IN OPINION.
The Student must be able:
-to define a list of differential diagnoses consistent with gross and histological lesions, supported by clinical signs and additional diagnostic investigations.
D4. COMMUNICATION ABILITIES.
The Student must be able:
-to apply the right terminology in describing lesions and report morphological diagnosis, in communicating knowledges in a peer auditorium
-to acquire general criteria to interpreter cytologic and histologic report.
D5. LEARNING ABILITIES
The Student must be able:
-to consult and critically examine the literature in order to analyze more in deep subjects and propose strategies in solving problems. - Prerequisites
- To attend to the Anatomic Pathology training, students must be enrolled for the IV year of the Course in Veterinary Medicine.
To learn the given subjects and to gain the learning aims of the course, students must have attended to the course of Anatomic Pathology.
Moreover, the subjects discussed in the course need basic knowledge of General Pathology and Morphopathology. This information is due to gain the aims of the internship. - Teaching methods
- The Pathological Anatomy training is arranged as to follow:
- students attend the dissection classroom of the DVM to perform necropsies
- students attend to the Labs of the Veterinary Pathology Service to write reports addressed to the gross examination performed in dissection classroom
- students attend to the Labs of the Veterinary Pathology Service for trimming
- students attend to the Labs of the Veterinary Service to examin cytological and histological slides for a final case defining
- students can also spend time for consultation of the literature and collective discussion.
The activities can be naturally different for each group of students depending on the activities occurring in the Service. Every day, students are firstly involved in a briefing about the diagnostic activities of the day. - Other information
- The access and work at the Anatomic room and histological labs are defined by special procedures which are available at UniStudium page referred to the Practical Training in Pathologic Anatomy.
The activity schedule is available at VMD http://www.medvet.unipg.it/didattica - Learning verification modality
- The Pathological Anatomy training does not provide a final test, as the current Learning Organization. Therefore, student learning is tested during the internship by a direct evaluation of practical activities. The student must write reports with morphological diagnosis referred to necropsy cases.
- Extended program
- The internship involves students in the practical activities of Veterinary Pathology Service of DVM:
- Necropsies and morphological diagnosis
- Sample trimming and description of lesions
- Histological slides examination and histological diagnosis
- Cytological examination and cytological diagnosis
