Inhoud

In this course we will discuss the pathology of several organ systems. Basic pathology, as discussed in Pathology 1, is assumed to be known. Based on several medical cases, we will discuss the anatomy and (dys)function of the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, liver, kidneys, intestine, and endocrine pancreas. 

The course will be finalized by a digital exam. Furthermore, a group assignment is also a compulsory part of the course.
Final grade = 70% exam grade + 30% of group assignment*.

 

*Grades from group assignments from previous study years are still valid.
