To succesfully address the study of pathology and sustain the final examination, students are strongly recommended to have attended and passed the courses of the previous 4 years of medicine, with particular regard to fundamental disciplines as: a) Human genetics, b) Histology, c) Human anatomy, d) Human physiology, e) Immunology and general pathology, f) Microbiology, g) Radiodiagnostics, h) Hemathology.
1) Understanding the role of Pathology in the multidisciplinary diagnostic process, highlighting the importance of traditional histopathological analysis and of the application of most recent ancillary diagnostic methods, with particular attention to immunomolecular techniques
2)Learning the most important organ and system pathological modifications, as a necessary basis to fully understand the fisiopathology and the clinical symptomathological aspects of human diseases.
3)Learning how to read and understand the reports issued by the Pathology Department, to make correlations with laboratory and instrumental data and with the clinical symptomathological and semeiological context, and to draw prognostic and therapeutic indications

Frontal teaching
Robbins, Pathological basis of disease (8th edition)
Written examination. The students will be proposed two image-based and one text-based questions covering the main chapters of pathology, and will have the choice of writing an essay on two of the three questions. Three hours will be allowed for the completion of the essays.
Students wishing to improve their marks will be given the option of sitting a subsequent oral examination.
