1. Course Description. Systemic Pathology and Laboratory Medicine (BMS 6602C, 9 credits) presents an organized treatment of diseases affecting specific organ systems. Disease morphology is integrated with laboratory medicine. Patient presentations are used to illustrate clinical-pathologic correlations. Correlative courses in Clinical Radiology and Oncology are integrated by organ system in context with the presentations in Systemic Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. The course builds upon the student's knowledge of host defense mechanisms and disease causation acquired in General Pathology and Immunology (BMS 6601C). By providing a comprehensive coverage of specific organ based diseases, Systemic Pathology and Laboratory Medicine provides a foundation upon which to build the practitioner's knowledge of specific clinical disorders. 2.

4. Educational philosophy. Pathology is the study of disease and the foundation of modern medical practice. It is our goal as teachers to share with our students our enthusiasm for the subject of pathology and to present a well organized, informative, and focused course in pathology that emphasizes the essential information that students must possess in order to understand the biology of the diseases they are witnessing and treating. It is the responsibility of the student to translate that information into a meaningful, working knowledge of pathologic processes. We provide help and guidance to the student, but the task of learning and the rewards of learning belong to the student. |
