Curriculum

Curriculum

Modified time table and curriculum is being followed as per the New CBME guidelines. AETCOM sessions of second year and whenever required in other years are also there. Electives in the department is being planned for interested students

Goal

The broad goal of the teaching of undergraduate student  in Pathology  is  to  provide  the  students  with  a  comprehensive knowledge  of the mechanisms and causes  of disease, in order  to enable  him/her to achieve complete understanding of the  natural history and  clinical manifestations of disease. 

Knowledge

At the end of the course, the student should be able to :

  • Describe the structure and ultrastructure of a sicklecell, mechanisms of   cell degeneration, cell death and repair  and  be able to correlate structural and    functional alterations. 
  • Explain the pathophysiological processes which govern the maintenance of homeostasis, mechanisms of their disturbance and the morphological and clinical manifestations associated with it. 
  • Describe the mechanisms and patterns to tissue response to injury such that she/he can appreciate the pathophysiology of disease processes and their clinical manifestations. 
  • Correlate normal and altered morphology (gross and microscopic) of different organ systems in common diseases to the extent needed for understanding of disease processes and their clinical significance. 

Skills

At the end of the course, the student should be able to: 

  • Describe  the  rationale  and  principles  of   technical procedures of the diagnostic laboratory  tests and interpretation of the results;
  • Perform the simple bed-side tests on blood, urine and other biological fluid samples; 
  • Draw  a  rational  scheme  of  investigations  aimed  at diagnosing and managing the cases of common disorders; 
  • Understand biochemical/physiological disturbances   that occur as a result of disease in collaboration with pre-clinical departments. 

Integration

At the end of training he/she should be able  to  integrate the  causes of disease and relationship of different  etiological factors  (social, economic and environmental) that contribute  to the natural history of diseases most prevalent in India.
