Overview
This course is designed to increase the student鈥檚 knowledge and understanding of the process of disease at the genetic, molecular, cellular and tissue level. This course explores systemic pathology and diseases of organ systems. Integrative pathology will enable the student to integrate the theory and practice of the various disciplines of pathology in their approach to the laboratory investigation, diagnosis and therapeutic options in individual patients and will enhance their capacity to make critical and informed judgments in a professional setting.
This course will consolidate the students' knowledge and understanding of the various disciplines of pathology in a study of the structural and functional changes in cells, tissues and organs associated with the human body's response to toxic stressors and injury. Integrative pathology will integrate the theory and associated laboratory practices presented in the Haematology, Clinical Biochemistry, Histopathology, Molecular Diagnostics and Medical Microbiology and Immunology courses in the Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Science for the emerging Medical Laboratory Scientist.
As part of the UniSQ accreditation agreement with the Australian Institute of Medical and Clinical Scientists (AIMS), students are required to attempt and submit all assessment items in this course.
