Histology/Pathology

Catalog description

The course begins with the basic histology of the system and provides genetic changes seen with the systems that relate to disease, histological changes with various pathologies, and structural pathological changes. The course covers the most common pathological conditions within the neurological system and special senses, and the changes that occur at the cellular level as well as gross pathological organ change. The histology portion of the course is taught through lecture where attendance is required. The pathology portion of the course consists of online modules that allow the student to learn and study in an independent environment, creating life-long learning skills. This also allows the student to work at their own pace throughout the block, with attention to exam times. Each online module is expected to take the student 3 hours to complete and is accompanied by questions. Students may complete the modules independently or work in groups; however, testing is independent. •
