Human pathology 2: Pathology of human diseases

In this unit you will adopt a systematic approach to the study of human pathology, which examines individual organ systems. You will learn about the aetiology (causes), clinical presentation, diagnosis, and sequelae (consequences) of human diseases as they affect tissue structures in essential organ systems. Some of the major themes that you will cover in this unit include vasculopathy, neuropathology, haematopathology, gastrointestinal pathology and oncology. Through laboratory classes and workshops you will learn to distinguish pathological changes present in disease and their relationship to organ dysfunction. You will write laboratory and pathology reports with an emphasis on the environmental, molecular, and clinical aspects of disease pathogenesis and the role of laboratory investigations in the diagnosis of specific diseases
