GENERAL PATHOLOGY AND PHYSIOPATHOLOGY
(objectives)
Recognize the etiology, pathogenesis, pathological morphology, pathophysiology and symptomatology of pathological phenomena, developing the ability to describe the structure and multiplication of microorganisms and the main investigations useful for recognizing them. Recognize the main medical dysfunctions, the immunological and immunohaematological mechanisms involved, the most common diagnostic tests in clinical practice.

Module: microbiology and clinical microbiology
(objectives)
Knowledge of the following objective will be essential: structure of different microorganisms, microbial pathogenicity, interactions between micro-organism and host, causes and mechanisms of onset of the main microbial aetiology diseases. In addition, knowledge of bacterial, viral, mycotic or protozoal infections of gynaecological and obstetric interest will be indispensable in order to identify potential clinical problems during professional activity. These objectives will be achieved through frontal lectures, seminars and interactive teaching activities, designed to facilitate learning and improve the ability to address and solve the main questions of Clinical Microbiology.
