Pathology Department
The study and diagnosis of disease are the main goals of the medical science discipline of pathology. This field of medicine focuses on the nature, origin, and causes of disease. In order to research and diagnose disease, the course also entails the investigation of tissues, physiological fluids, organs,and corpses. Pathologists diagnose the great majority of cases of cancer because they are experts in a variety of illnesses, including cancer. Under a microscope, the cellular structure of tissue samples is examined to identify whether they are malignant or benign (non-cancerous). Along with the related scientific investigation of medical processes, pathology additionally includes the analysis of particular disorders of the various organ systems as well as the causes, mechanisms, and degree of cellular adaptation to injury, necrosis (the death of living cells or tissues), inflammation, wound healing, and neoplasia (abnormal new cell growth).
At the end of the course, the student should be able to:- Learn about cell injury, the alterations it causes in various tissues and organs, and the body's ability to heal itself.
- Recognise the normal homeostatic mechanisms, their dysfunctions, and how they affect human systems.
- Recognise the pathological causes, clinical correlates of, and etiopathogenesis of prevalent infectious and non-infectious disorders.
- Learn about neoplasia and its aetiology, gross and microscopic characteristics, diagnosis, and prognosis in relation to various bodily tissues and organs.
- To the extent required for comprehension of disease processes and their clinical implications, correlate normal and changed morphology (gross and microscopic) of various organ systems in various disorders.
- Know the most prevalent immunological conditions and how they affect the body.
- grasp the typical haematological illnesses and the tests required to identify them, as well as their prognosis.
- Execute and understand the fundamental clinicopathological procedures correctly.
- Understand the correct procedures for collecting, handling, and sending clinical samples from patients.
