Teaching Methodologies
The discipline of general pathology will be taught using as a base methodology the theoretical presentation of clinical semiology relevant to each of the nosographic entities that will be illustrated, whenever possible, with iconographic elements and complemented by summaries of clinical cases.
There will be two frequencies, in the middle and at the end of the semester.
– Students who do not obtain a minimum of 5 in one of the frequencies will have to present themselves to the exam.
– Students who do not obtain an average equal to or greater than 9.5, in both frequencies, will have to present themselves to the exam.
The final grade will be subject to adjustments taking into account the participation of students during the classes
Learning Results
The student must acquire knowledge of:
– Pathology of all human systems
– Distinction between normal and abnormal function of all systems of the organism
– Identification, by system, of the most frequent pathological processes to its aetiology, epidemiology, symptoms, signs, prognosis and treatment
The student must acquire skills to:
– Recognition and description of the signs and symptoms of most frequent pathologies
– Recognition of the relations between signs and symptoms
The student must acquire skills to:
– Retain and develop knowledge of pathology
– Understand the pathological mechanisms related to the environment
– Relate the pathologies to the exposure of individuals to risk agents
