- Course Description: This lecture course focuses on disease processes and their causes.
- Please briefly explain why it is necessary and/or desirable to add this course:
- What is the need or demand for this course? (Indicate if this course is part of a required sequence in the major.) What other programs would this course service? The requested change in the course name is to more accurately define the focus of the course on basic medical pathology and highlight the clinical applications of the subject. No other components of the course are changed.
- Has this course been offered as Selected Topics/Experimental Topics course? If yes, how many times?
- What qualifications for training and/or experience are necessary to teach this course? (List minimum qualifications for the instructor.)
- Objectives: "The course objectives include:
1. Communicating an understanding of tissue injury and disease processes, using appropriate pathology terms and recognize the morphological and functional differences between normal and injured or diseased tissue.
2. Describing, from a structural, functional and biochemical perspective, the different types of pathological lesions and provide scenarios for how they each arise.
3. Explaining the major pathological changes that occur in the various organ systems including the heart, lungs and skin. Describing the pathology of the gastrointestinal tract, the endocrine and hematopoietic systems.
4. Identifying the various tumor types that are common to the different organ systems.
5. Explaining the causes of various degenerative diseases of the nervous system such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.
6. Explaining neoplasm and the different modes of dysregulation of cell growth and division.
7. Illustrating the various causes of carcinogenesis, such as irradiation, chemical, viral, inflammatory and genetic effects.
8. Explaining inflammation and how it is critical to host defense against microorganisms and parasites, identify the different patterns of inflammatory response and the various types of autoimmune disorders.
9. Demonstrating an understanding of the different pathologies of the male and female reproductive systems.
"
