The course of Anatomic Pathology 2 includes the following modules: (1) ANATOMICAL and HISTOLOGICAL PATHOLOGY, (2) CITOPATHOLOGY, and (3) HEMOLYMPHOPATHOLOGY whose expected knowledge and skills are: - To know causes, pathogenetic mechanisms, tissue (macroscopic, microscopic) and molecular alterations of diseases.
-To be able to integrate this knowledge with various therapeutic options that can be used to set up personalized therapies.
- To acquire the basis to collaborate with pathologists in the clinical management of patients through the learning of the indications, advantages and limitations of various methods of analysis and the understanding of a cytological, histological, molecular and autopsy report
- In particular, the student must know the morphological, molecular and classification bases of non-neoplastic and neoplastic diseases of the breast, female genital tract, soft tissues, organs of the head and neck region, central nervous system, and skin.
Course Prerequisites
The student must know embryology, histology, normal anatomy, biochemistry, general pathology including regulation of cellular molecular pathways.
In addition, to take the final exam it is necessary to have previously passed the exams of Medical Pathology and Surgical Pathology, as stated in the official teaching regulations of the University.
Assessment Methods
The final assessment includes an oral exam on the program carried out in the integrated courses of Anatomic Pathology 1 (IV year) and Anatomic Pathology 2 (V year).
The exam is oral and three questions will be asked. For each of the three questions, a maximum of 10 points will be awarded. Honors (laude) will be given to particularly deserving students.
Students who have taken the partial written exam at the end of the course of Anatomic Pathology 1 (IV year) will not be questioned on the program of Anatomic Pathology 1 and 2 questions related only to the program of Anatomic Patholoy 2 will be asked. In this case, the grade of the written exam will be averaged with the grade of the 2 oral questions. The modalities of the written exam of Anatomic Pathology 1 are detailed in the syllabus of the Integrated Course of Anatomic Pathology 1 of the fourth year.
The criteria used to verify the knowledge and skills are: clarity of exposure and completeness of knowledge including epidemiological, clinical, macroscopic, microscopic and molecular aspects of diseases. Particular attention will also be paid to the appropriateness of the language and terminology used.
