SCIENZE BIOMEDICHE II

Module Patologia Generale

1. Knowledge and understanding
Acquisition of knowledge on the fundamental mechanisms of disease, including cellular pathology, inflammation, immunity, temperature alterations, and genetic and neoplastic diseases.

2. Application of knowledge
Ability to apply acquired knowledge to understand pathological processes and to correlate biological mechanisms with clinical manifestations.

3. Autonomy of judgment
Ability to distinguish between physiological and pathological processes and to critically interpret simple pathological conditions.

4. Communication skills
Use of appropriate scientific language to describe and communicate the main pathological processes.

5. Learning skills
