Pathology
Learning outcomes
Students who graduate from Pathology will be able to:
| No. | Learning outcomes |
|---|---|
| 1 | Exhibit an integrated knowledge of the role of the immune system in both the cause of disease and the underlying mechanism of disease progression. |
| 2 | Exhibit a broad understanding of the cellular and molecular bases of pathogenesis of a diverse range of diseases and the pathophysiological responses to disease. |
| 3 | Critically evaluate the application of a range of pathological techniques/skills. |
| 4 | Observe and describe pathophysiological responses of relevant organs to disease and explain their effect on organ function. |
| 5 | Communicate concepts and findings in pathology across a range of modes for a variety of purposes and audiences, using evidence-based arguments that are robust to critique. |
| 6 | Apply pathological concepts and approaches to a diverse range of disease contexts and solve complex pathological problems. |
| 7 | Design, evaluate and test diagnostic pathology assays using knowledge of industry standards in assay development and regulation. |
| 8 | Develop creative and innovative approaches to problem solving in pathology research and work effectively, responsibly and safely in individual and collaborative contexts. |
| 9 | Evaluate how therapeutic approaches that target cells and molecules of our immune and other organ systems lead to breakthroughs in human disease detection, treatment and management, and examine how these are handled by different community and cultural perspectives. |
| 10 | Work effectively with colleagues from different areas of specialisation to address interdisciplinary problems in pathology. |
