Learning outcomes

  • Understand human pathology through a systemic biological approac.
  • Resolve a human physiopathological situation while ensuring that students maintain their reflection on the relevance of the scientific approach and utilise the basic techniques associated with biomedical research.
  • Master the use of analysis and measurement devices.

Goals

At the end of the course, students will be able to 


  • understand the causes and mechanisms of diseases by studying the morphological and functional changes in the cells, tissues and organs that underlie them 
  • use some medical vocabulary. 

Content

The different chapters are illustrated by examples chosen among the most frequent pathologies. The theoretical course is complemented by practical work intended above all to familiarise the student with clinical reasoning.

Table of contents

5. Inflammation


6. Examples of infection


7. Haemodynamic disturbances


8. Repair - healing

Teaching methods

Lecture on the board and with support of clinical and microscopic slides.

Assessment method

Identical examination in 1st and 2nd session.

Oral exam with 2 parts, non-dispensatory between two sessions: a theoretical part and a practical part


The exam consists of an oral examination including a theoretical part (3 questions) and a practical part consisting of the analysis of slides. To pass the examination (June and September), you must obtain at least 8/16 in the theoretical part and 1.5/4 in the practical part. If you obtain less than the minimum marks listed below in each section, you will fail the examination.
