About Department

Pathology is the study of abnormal structures and functions of the human body. It involves examining gross and microscopic appearances of diseased tissues to understand their formation and guide appropriate treatment strategies. The field of pathology plays a vital role in disease diagnosis, research, and clinical decision-making.

Course Objectives

  • Students will be able to effectively communicate using appropriate terminology related to tissue injury and disease processes.
  • To develop the ability to distinguish pathological lesions from normal tissues.
  • To gain a comprehensive understanding of structural, functional, and biochemical aspects of different pathological conditions.
  • To analyze how various disease processes develop and progress.
  • To understand how pathological changes correlate with clinical symptoms, disease detection, treatment, and prognosis.
  • To apply knowledge to real-world clinical scenarios to enhance diagnostic accuracy.
  • To integrate pathology concepts with knowledge from physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, and pharmacology.
  • To develop a problem-solving approach to understanding disease mechanisms.
  • To encourage critical thinking and curiosity about unresolved questions in pathology.
  • To equip students with foundational knowledge for future research and academic contributions in the field of pathology.

About Pathology

  • Focus: The study of disease mechanisms, causes, development, and effects on the human body.

  • Branches: General pathology, systemic pathology, clinical pathology, hematology, and histopathology.

  • Importance: Vital for diagnosing diseases, guiding treatment, and understanding disease progression.

  • Research: Includes investigations into the cellular and molecular basis of diseases, biomarkers, and innovative diagnostic techniques.<

  • Teaching: Offers key insights into disease processes and laboratory diagnosis, forming a core subject in medical education.
