Learning outcomes

Study of the basic mechanisms of disease from a morphological and pathophysiological perspective.

Content

The aim of the course is twofold: to understand the why and how of diseases through the study of morphological and functional changes in cells, tissues and organs that underlie diseases and to familiarize the student with medical vocabulary. The different chapters are illustrated by examples chosen among the most frequent pathologies. The theoretical course is complemented by practical work intended above all to familiarise the student with clinical reasoning.
