Course Objective

This course aims to teach the student basic physiopathological subjects and concepts. In this course It is focused on thephysiopathologies of the most frequent diseases disordering the cell, organ, system functions. Students are taught about the basic physiopathological mechanisms which forms at the cell level. Students discuss on the organ and system function disorders and the symptoms presented with case examples by asking cause-effect questions. Students gain the ability in questioning the physiopathological changes in clinical situations and analyzing them by using his/her factual/conceptual learning he/she has had.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   The students identifies normal cell organ and system functions.
2   The student explains the physiopathological mechanisms which are formed in cell organ and system functions.
3   The student shows the physiopathological process of the clinical symptoms given in the case examples
4   The student analyzes the physiopathology of the problems in clinical situations he/she meets.
5   The student assesses the results of the symptoms/diagnosis/laboratory and the related physiopathological mechanisms.
