GENERAL

1. COURSE DESCRIPTION
A. Pathology is the study of diseases and is organized into two major courses: Pathology I and
Pathology II. The Pathology I course presents the basic concepts in general pathology and the systemic
pathology of hematologic diseases. The Pathology II course presents the systemic pathology of vascular,
cardiac, lung, head and neck, gastrointestinal, liver and biliary, pancreatic, kidney, urinary, genital,
breast, endocrine, skin, bone and joint, muscle, nerve, and central nervous system diseases.
B. The Pathology II course is designed to provide the student with a broad knowledge and
understanding of the concepts and principles of disease pathology with special emphasis on diagnostics
and prognostic implications relevant to clinical practice.
C. Pathology I & II are major courses bridging the basic sciences and clinical medicine. Pathology
literally means the study (logos) of suffering (pathos). Pathology students explore the structural,
physiologic, and biochemical alterations of cells, tissues, and organs associated with diseases. The
fundamental aspects of each disease include:
1) Etiology or cause
2) Pathogenesis or the mechanism by which an etiologic agent results in a disease
3) Morphology studies the structure and form of cells, tissues, and organs and the course of the
disease.
4) Signs & Symptoms of the disease
5) Differential Diagnosis
6) Diagnostics: laboratory testing and results of radiologic and other Investigations
7) Prognosis of the disease
8) Clinical pathologic correlation, the correlation of morphology and laboratory data with the
clinical features of diseases
D. Good knowledge and understanding of Pathology are central to understanding other clinical
subjects. Therefore, clinical case scenarios, diagnostic investigations, and exercises in test result
interpretation will be provided throughout the course through lectures, student presentations,
laboratory sessions, and active learning assignments. In addition, the clinical relevance of disease
mechanisms, pathogenesis, and progression, will be emphasized for each system by demonstrating
gross pathology, histopathology, and alterations in laboratory tests.
E. Course content is continually being reviewed and updated in light of newly published literature in
the field. Refinements are made to improve clarity and flow. Case studies are included to help correlate
pathologic changes with clinical manifestations of diseases and to gain experience in deductive
reasoning, differential diagnosis, and arriving at the most likely diagnosis.
F. The student will acquire an evidence-based medicine approach to evaluating current therapeutic
options and treatment strategies.
G. Intuitive reasoning is encouraged to motivate students to research topics of interest in pathology
and to deliver class presentations on disease entities or case reports.

2
H. The student will develop their critical thinking abilities to analyze data, assess conclusions, discuss
the differential diagnosis, interpret test results, and debate treatment options.
L. There are weekly practical microscopy laboratory sessions. The student will examine glass slides
with H&E stained tissue sections representative of all major pathologic processes, including
inflammation, adaptation, infection, neoplasia, and degenerative diseases.
M. A student requires prior knowledge of biology, inorganic and organic chemistry, anatomy,
physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, histology, and general pathology.
N. This Syllabus is subject to changes at any time at the discretion of the Course Director.

2. COURSE OBJECTIVES

A. Every student graduating from the Pathology II course is expected to have developed a
comprehension and knowledge of the etiologies, pathogenesis, structural and functional manifestations
of a wide range of systemic diseases, a vocabulary to communicate this knowledge, and the ability to
use this knowledge to solve diagnostic problems.
B. To learn and understand the biological principles which govern changes in cells and tissues as a
response to abnormal stimuli.
C. To develop skills in recognizing the pathologic hallJulyks of diseases at the gross, microscopic, and
ultra-structural levels.
D. To understand the dynamics of disease progression and to become aware of the natural course of
disease states and how medico-surgical interventions can modify the course of specific diseases. E. To
learn how Pathology as a medical specialty relates to and contributes to clinical medicine.
F. Pathology II course is designed to provide an in-depth knowledge of systemic pathology and the
interactions between disease processes at the molecular, cellular, organ, and holistic levels. G. By
the end of the Pathology II course, the medical student would be expected to have gained
• Knowledge (theory) of the classification and pathogenesis of the majority of disease entities and
the ability to correlate normal and altered morphologies (gross & microscopy) of different organ
systems
• An understanding of the various laboratory and imaging investigations necessary to make the
diagnosis
• Knowledge of the various factors that determine disease progression and prognosis
• Skills (the practice of pathology) to interpret and discuss the results of routine laboratory
investigations, including clinical pathology tests (hematology, serology, genetics, cytology,
histology, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, flow cytometer), and key radiologic
findings
• An awareness of the standard methods of sample/specimen collection for routine investigations
• An understanding of procedures, like the PAP smear, that are used for cancer screening,
prevention, and monitoring
• Behaviors (attitudes) to appropriately utilize the services of a clinical laboratory in the diagnosis
and management of a clinical case
• An appreciation of when and how to utilize blood banking/transfusion services
• The ability to explain to the patient the results given in pathology reports (biopsy, surgical
specimen), imaging (endoscopy, colonoscopy, laparoscopy…), and radiology reports (X-ray,
ultrasound, CT / MRI / PET scans, angiography…)
• An understanding of ethical practices

messages/communications related to the course.

6. TEACHING METHODS

Educational Objectives: At the beginning of the module, you will receive Syllabi with Educational
Objectives. The Educational Objectives will guide your studies and help you identify important subject
areas to be read in the text. These objectives are not necessarily comprehensive with respect to lecture
content, and examination questions are not limited to these items.
Each session is to be conducted based on direct student participation (active learning) and Faculty
lectures: When students need the material or do not understand it, they are urged to consult with the
Course Director or the faculty as soon as possible. Convenient contact information is available, and
telephone numbers and e-mail addresses are also published.
Teaching methods
The format will consist of didactic lectures followed by a variety of interactive sessions where lecture
material
is discussed in a clinical context. A clinical case wraps up session that integrates aspects of each discipline
presented in the lecture will conclude each of the sections listed above. Students are encouraged to
participate in these interactive sessions by asking and answering questions. It is advisable to review the
relevant lecture material and, where applicable, study the clinical cases and answer the questions posted
in advance. In addition, the AMBOSS platform as a study tool is provided, and the assignments using the
platform's q-bank will be given regularly. This will increase your understanding of the subject matter and
the faculty-student interaction during the sessions.

Please note that these sessions may introduce new information and review and reinforce lecture and
reading material.

Active Learning Assignments

Students will be given opportunities to participate in case discussions and to submit written assignments
on histopathology and clinical case. Students will be evaluated individually according to a specified
grading rubric.

7. BEHAVIOR AND APPEARANCE

It is expected that you will behave in a professional manner appropriate for the profession of medicine.
It is also expected that you will dress in a manner appropriate for the profession and the situation.
Please refer to the Student Catalogue for details.

8. ATTENDANCE POLICY
Students must attend all lectures on a regular basis. Anyone with less than 70% attendance in any block
will be penalized 20 points on their exam grade. Any further transgression and they may not be allowed
to take exams. Excuses have to be approved by the Examinations Committee in accordance with the
policy.

9. REMEDIATION
Students have access to the course faculty during all contact time, and 2 hours per week are put aside
for student interaction. Students are also provided with access to tutors if they so wish.

10. STUDENT EVALUATIONS
Student evaluations of both course and faculty members are routinely carried out toward the end of
each semester.

11. ASSESSMENT PROTOCOL

Students will be evaluated on the "application of knowledge" basis (summative assessment). All
theoretical and laboratory examination questions will be presented as clinical vignettes, and all of them
will be either interpretation or problem-solving items; there will be no questions of the straight
"identify" nature. In other words, you will be asked to show your "higher order" skills rather than just
rote memory and recall of factual information.

All the questions are related to intended learning outcomes (i.e., learning objectives) and correspond to
USMLE STEP 1 CONTENT OUTLINE.
