Introduction
Pathology is the bridge between the basic science and clinical medicine. The main aim of Pathology course is to provide the third year medical student with adequate and applicable knowledge and skills to recognize common pathologic conditions and diseases and life threatening illnesses affecting body organs and system. It helps the student to understand the causes (aetiology) of disease, the mechanisms of its development (pathogenesis) and the associated alterations of structure (morphologic changes) and function (clinical manifestations and complications) to be able to determine the most likely diagnosis of the disease and management of the patient when provided with the clinical history, the anatomical, histopathological lesions, and the laboratory data.
1. Overall Aims of the Pathology Course
Aim 1 Adequate, recognizable and applicable knowledge for common
pathologic conditions and diseases affecting body organs.
Aim 2
Ability to identify and describe gross and microscopic
pathological structural changes.
Aim 3
Integration of pathological findings, clinical data and other
investigations to determine the most likely diagnosis of the
disease and management of the patient.
Aim 4
Motivation and readiness to continuous and lifelong learning for
evolving medical information and skills.

3. Course Content
The study of pathology is divided into general and systemic pathology. The former is concerned with the basic reactions of cells and tissues to abnormal stimuli that underlie all pathologic conditions and diseases. The later examines the specific responses of specialized organs and tissues to more or less well defined stimuli.

Guidelines for your research assignment presentation
1. Determine some basic objectives before planning a
presentation. 2. Write down some main ideas first, in order to build a
presentation around them. 3. Develop an introduction that will catch the attention of your
audience and still provide the necessary background information.
4. The conclusion must refer back to the introduction and, if appropriate, may contain a call-to-action statement.
5. The visual aids used are carefully prepared, simple, and easy to read.
6. Rehearse so there is a minimum focus on notes and maximum attention paid to audience.
7. The notes contain only "key words" so avoid reading up from a manuscript or technical paper.
8. Prepare answers to anticipated questions, and practice responding to them.
9. Arrange seating (if appropriate) and check audio-visual equipment in advance of the presentation.
10. Keep your voice strong, clear and not a monotone.
