Integrated course unit module: PATHOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Learning objectives

It will be developed a critical sense of the different macroscopic appearance of the lesions, the correct interpretation of the microscopic findings and the exact analysis of a pathological report with a possible reference to the potential, several treatment options to take.

Prerequisites

According to provisions of the degree course

Course unit content

Pathology is the pivotal diagnostic and therapeutic path in the modern medicine. Proper pathologic interpretation based on morphological characteristics and biomolecular specific patient pathology(ies) allows modulation of therapeutic no more standard protocols, . Therefore, the course is designed in three stages that allow the progressive and gradual learning of 1) basic concepts of pathological anatomy, 2) the impact of systemic diseases on the specific problems inherent the course of study, and finally on 3) pathologies of oral relevance, even with possible reflection on the body and the "person". It also will be provided a general model of epicritical reasoning with which to confront in everyday life, to understand the importance of interaction of the experts in different oral fields.
