Learning unit 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.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
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.
