Course contents :
|
|||||
| The Master's course in digestive PATHOLOGY aims at introducing students to various clinical aspects with adults and children: surgery, anatomo-pathology, radiology, pharmacology, and radiotherapy.
We thus consider pathologies of the following organs: oesophagus, stomach, liver and hepatic ducts, pancreas, small intestine, colorectum, and anus. The aim of the course is to introduce students to essential medical and surgical steps in the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to digestive pathologies. During the childhood digestive pathology includes gastroenterology and nutrition. The material is divided into 4 classes: it is complementary to the notions lavished in adults. The peculiarity of the courses in children is that these materials show, in addition to classical Gastroenterology adults, also the important concepts of nutrition and major disorders of hydration and electrolyte disturbances. About nutrition, given the dependence between brain health and nutrition, this interrelationship will also lavished in a course. |

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
|||||
| Learning objectives are specified within each major sections. Notions of anatomy, pathological anatomy and physiology are recalled whenever it proves necessary. Each chapter begins with a table of notions that have to be known on the discussed pathologies. Some paragraphes (with a heading that says "Pour les plus curieux") provide further information particularly for those students who think of specialising in Digestive Pathology (whether medical or surgical).<br /><br /> The main objective is to provide students with the necessary pathological knowledge and techniques so that they can best act when confronted with urological problems.<br /><br /> See list above. | |||||
|

| Clinical stages under the supervision of of clinical master in GI adult and pediatric pathology and abdominal surgery.
Students are split in small groups and take part in hospital clinical activities (ward round, consultations, techniques, explorations etc...). These sessions are held in two series of at least 5 hours with 2 different masters over the learning trimester. Students are encouraged to come regularly into the wards of gi pathologies to interview and examine patients. |
