ANATOMIC PATHOLOGY
The student, to access the course, must have knowledge and skills acquired in previous teachings, concerning human anatomy, physiology, general pathology, immunology, microbiology.
Final test will consist in an oral interview that will focus on open questions on the topics covered in class.
The evaluation will take into consideration:
- detail, precision and significance in the theoretical contents acquired
- ability to present, argue and synthesize the leaned concepts with an appropriate language
- relevance and correctness
The personal re-elaboration of the learned contents and the ability to apply them to practical contexts will constitute a criterion of merit
The teaching activity aims to provide students with the basic tools to understand the activity carried out in a Pathology Service, contextualizing the profession of the dental hygienist with an understanding of the elementary morphological pictures that characterize the diseases of oral cavity and upper respiratory sistem.
At the end of the course the student will be able to:
-describe the basic macroscopic and microscopic features of the main diseases of the oral cavity
- to carry out elementary clinicopathological correlations
the teaching activity will focus on the following topics:
-General workflow in a Pathology Service
- Fundamental terminology in Pathology
- Diseases of the oral cavity
The teaching is proposed through lectures conducted by the teacher with the use of support materials (slides, example models, documents, bibliographic materials ...).
Students are required to systematically proceed with the independent study of the provided material, prepare the activities to be carried out in the classroom (if needed), and actively participate in the proposed discussions.
Students are always invited to contact the teacher in case of need for further information or clarification.
