1. GOAL
The goal of teaching pathology is to provide undergraduate students comprehensive knowledgeof the causes and mechanisms of disease, in order to enable them to achieve completeunderstanding of the natural history and clinical manifestations of the disease.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

(A) KNOWLEDGE
At the end of one and half years, the student shall be able to -
i. Describe the structure and ultra structure of a sick cell, the mechanisms of the cell
Degradation, cell death and repair. Correlate structural and functional alterations in the sick cell.
iii. Explain the Patho physiological processes which governs the maintenance of
Homeostasis, mechanism of their disturbances and the morphological and clinical manifestation Associated with it.
iv. Describe the mechanisms and patterns of tissue response to injury to appreciate the path physiology of disease processes andtheir clinical manifestations
.v. Correlate the gross and microscopic alterations of different organ systems in common diseases to the extent needed to understand disease processes and their clinical significance.
vi. Develop an understanding of neoplastic change in the body in order to appreciate need for early diagnosis and further management of neo plasia
.vii.Understand mechanisms of common hematological disorders and develop a logical approach in their diagnosis and management.

B) SKILLS
At the end of one and half years, the student shall be able to -
i. Describe the rationale and principles of technical procedures of diagnostic laboratory tests and interpretation of result
.
ii. Perform simple bedside tests on blood, urine and other biological fluid samples.
iii. Draw a rational scheme of investigations aimed at diagnosing and managing common disorders
iv. Understand biochemical/physiological disturbances that occur as a result of disease in-collaboration with per clinical departments.

(C) INTEGRATION
At the end of one and half years, the student shall be able to integrate the causes and mechanisms of disease most prevalent in India with their natural history for the understanding of their clinical course and management.
