Learning Outcomes of UE

From knowledge and understanding of biochemical pathways, histology and physiology in healthy, pathology will be studied. This will include both the abnormal values suggestive of diseases, but also the regulation of metabolism in particular conditions such as fasting, obesity, inflammation ... .. A particular focus will be on the diagnosis of pathologies and differential diagnosis leading the future doctor a probabilistic thinking. The clinical presentation and treatment will also be discussed.

Content of UE

The Unit includes 3 differents courses:
General Pathological Anatomy (M-DOYM-040). Prof Remmelink. 20 hours theory and 10 hours of supervised practical works.
Pathological Biochemistry (M-DOYM-032) Prof Piagnerelli. - 30 hours of theory.
Supplement in Physiopathology. (M-PHPH-301).Professor Legrand. 10 hours theory and 8 hours of supervised practical works.
