Beschrijving

NB. This course is taught in Dutch.

This module deals with general pathology. Three main themes are discussed:

  • Cellular pathology and inflammation

  • Hemodynamic disorders

All themes focus on understanding disease processes. Diseases will be discussed in terms of etiology, pathogenesis, morphologic changes and clinical significance. The subject matter will be illustrated with diseases that exemplify the disease processes studied. Following introductory lectures, comprehensive lectures and clinical demonstrations, the subject matter will be studied and dealt with in (computer-aided) tutorials. In addition, optional research or clinical conferences can be attended to elaborate upon a topic of choice.
