Enrollment limited to: second-, third-, and fourth-year veterinary students. Minimum enrollment 6; maximum 40.

S. McDonough.

Intended for students who wish to strengthen and broaden their knowledge of the pathologic basis of disease. Fundamental biologic processes as revealed by gross and microscopic pathologic changes are emphasized. Molecular mechanisms are integrated into the discussion where appropriate. General pathologic processes are organized into a logical and uniform system in order to facilitate comprehension and learning, with particular attention paid to definition and proper usage of terminology. The course includes two lectures per week and a onehour large-group discussion, which allows students to apply general knowledge gained in lecture to a specific problem.
