Overall Aims of Course
By the end of this course, the students should By the end of this course, the students should have a basic pathology knowledge of have a basic pathology knowledge of structural and functional changes in disease,structural and functional changes in disease, what causes disease,what causes disease, how disease starts, progresses & how disease starts, progresses & how patient signs and symptoms are related how patient signs and symptoms are related
to underlying pathology. to underlying pathology. This knowledge should provide the students a This knowledge should provide the students a
sound foundation for rational clinical care sound foundation for rational clinical care and therapy and to help student to and therapy and to help student to understand the patient and his disease.understand the patient and his disease.
