Pathology
1. Goal
The goal of teaching pathology is to provide undergraduate students comprehensive
knowledge of the causes and mechanisms of disease, in order to enable them to achieve
complete understanding of the natural history and clinical manifestations of the disease.
2. Educational objectives
(a) Knowledge
At the end of one and half years, the student shall be able to -
i. describe the structure and ultrastructure of a sick cell, the mechanisms of the cell
degradation, cell death and repair.
ii. Correlate structural and functional alterations in the sick cell.
iii. Explain the Patho physiological processes which governs the maintenance of
homeostasis, mechanism of their disturbances and the morphological and clinical
manifestation associated with it.
iv. describe the mechanisms and patterns of tissue response to injury to appreciate the
Pathophysiology of disease processes and their clinical manifestations.
v. Correlate the gross and microscopic alterations of different organ systems in common
diseases to the extent needed to understand disease processes and their clinical
significance.
vi. Develop an understanding of neoplastic change in the body in order to appreciate need for
early diagnosis and further management of neoplasia.
vii. Understand mechanisms of common haematological disorders and develop a logical
approach in their diagnosis and management.
(b) Skills
At the end of one and half years, the student shall be able to -
i. Describe the rationale and principles of technical procedures of diagnostic laboratory
tests.
ii. Interpret diagnostic laboratory tests and correlate with clinical and morphological features
of diseases.
iii. Perform simple bedside tests on blood, urine and other biological fluid samples.
iv. Draw a rational scheme of investigations aimed at diagnosing and managing common
disorders.
v. Recognise morbid anatomical and histopathological changes for the diagnosis of common
disorders.
(c) Integration
At the end of one and half years, the student shall be able to integrate the causes and
mechanisms of disease most prevalent in India with their natural history for the
understanding of their clinical course and management.
