| General Pathology and Physiopathology
(objectives)
Aim of the teaching is to provide students with knowledge on:
-Elucidate the mechanisms and origins of human diseases emphasizing systemic processes based on molecular and cellular pathologic events.
-Assess the physiologic principles which govern the function of the main body systems and the alterations induced by structural and functional abnormalities.
- knowledge on the rational or methodologies of Laboratory Medicine analyses which are supportive for nursing.
- knowledge of the structure of different microorganisms, microbial pathogenicity, interactions between micro-organism and host, causes and mechanisms of onset of the main microbial aetiology diseases.
- knowledge on microbiological diagnostics will be essential for the identification of bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa.
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.
