Pathophysiology addresses the etiology and pathogenesis of disease, as well as the mechanisms of functional and metabolic alternations associated with the onset and development of diseases. In the course of pathophysiology, students will learn the alternations of function, metabolism and underlying mechanism of diseases.
The theory course of Pathophysiology includes introduction, conspectus of disease, fundamental pathological processes and organic pathophysiology.
Pathophysiology bridges science, basic medicine and clinical practice, which enables students to use the knowledge of basic medical science for the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of diseases.
For those students who will not engage in clinical medicine, Pathophysiology is also a necessary course to lay a solid foundation for their professional career development in multidisciplinary areas such as scientific research.
