COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Students will develop an understanding of pathology underlying clinical disease states and involving the major organ systems. Epidemiological issues will be presented and discussed. Students will learn to recognize pathology signs and symptoms that are considered “red flags” for serious disease. Students will use problem-solving skills and information about pathology to decide when referral to another health care provider or alternative intervention is indicated. Students will be expected to develop the ability to disseminate pertinent information and findings, and ascertain the appropriate steps to follow.
