There are no prerequisites, but it is highly recommended that the student has achieved some basic competencies in:
1. General and specific anatomy of the different organs and systems.
2. General and specific histology of different organs and systems
3. Molecular biology
4. Cell biology
It is also advisable to have gained sufficient knowledge in:
1. Biochemistry
2. Biostatistics
3. Epidemiology
4. English
The student will acquire the commitment to preserve the confidentiality and professional secrecy of the data that can be accessed due to the learning of
health care services. Also by maintaining an attitude of professional ethics in all its actions.
The subject is programmed in the third year of the Degree of Medicine, which corresponds to the beginning of the clinical period, once the basic knowledge about the structure and function of the human body has been obtained and before entering the study of the different medical and surgical pathologies and in clinical practice.
Pathology is the part of the medical sciences in which, through the correlation of structural alterations of organelles, cells, tissues, organs and systems with biochemical, genetic, molecular, clinics and radiology, provides the scientific basis for the understanding of etiopathogenesis and pathophysiology of pathological processes. From a practical point of view, Pathological Anatomy plays a significant role in the definitive diagnosis of a large number of diseases.
The specific objective is to provide the student with a global knowledge of the morphological and molecular bases of the pathology of the organs and systems, as well as the knowledge of the basic techniques used in Pathological Atomic Laboratories.
The student must be able to recognize the fundamental morphological alterations of the different tissues of the organism and interpret them properly. In addition, the student will have to become familiar with the histopathology of the most frequent illnesses, their gradation and their prognosis, as well as the use of the clinical-pathological correlation.
The subject consists of two parts: a General, whose objective is the learning of the basic concepts, the language and the ethiopathogenic concepts of the
diseases, and a specific one, that deals with the ethiopathogenic aspects basic, morphologic, diagnoses and prognostic of the diseases of each organ and
system.

This Guide describes the framework, contents, methodology and general norms of the subject, in accordance with the current curriculum. The final organization of the subject with regard to the number and size of groups, distribution in the calendar and dates of examinations, specific criteria of evaluation and review of exams, will be specified in each one of the Hospital Teaching Units (UDH), which will be explained through their web pages and the first day of class of each subject, through the teachers responsible for the subject at UDH.
For the present year, the professors appointed by the Departments as responsible for the subject at the Faculty level and the UDH are:
Department responsible: Morphological Sciences Department:
Faculty responsible: Joan Carles Ferreres Piñas
UDH responsibles:
nsUD Vall d'Hebron: Santiago Ramón and Cajal Agüeras and Ines De Torres
UD Germans Trias i Pujol: Pedro Luís Fernández Ruiz and Gustavo Tapia Melendo
UD Sant Pau: Enrique Lerma Puertas
UD Parc Taulí: Joan Carles Ferreres Piñas
DESCRIPTION OF THE TEACHING ACTIVITIES
Theoretical classes
Theoretical classes will have to provide knowledge about the morphological and molecular bases of illnesses and help the student acquire specific knowledge about the etiology, histopathological diagnosis, gradation and prognosis of the most frequent diseases. 64 sessions of 1 hour.
These classes will be blended, ensuring fairness and security to all the students.
Seminars of clinical cases* (clinical and pathological sessions)
Clinic-pathological sessions will provide the studentwith the necessary skillsto use the knowledge acquired in the theoretical classes, by analyzingand solving a series of cases related to the different blocks of the subject, and familiarizing themselves with the process of clinical-pathological correlation. The subject matter can be evaluated to the theoretical-practical exam.7 hours.
Assistencial Clinical Practices*:
Through these practices students must obtain the knowledge of the autopsy technique, as well as know the procedure of study and management of the cytologies, biopsies and surgical specimens, their processes of technification, the applicability of the complementary and molecular techniques , and acquire some basic skills. 14 hours.
Practices of advanced clinical skills*
These practices must enable students to become acquainted with the pre-psychological manipulation, the study of the microscope and their operation and their possibilities. They must also ensure that the student is able to recognize the different tissues microscopically, to evaluate different histopathological alterations and to perform an adequate clinical-pathological correlation. 5 hours.
*All seminars and practices will be performed face to face. However, depending on the number of students, the size of the groups and the duration can be modified.
Use of AI:
For this subject, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively in support tasks, such as bibliographic or information searches, text correction or translations, in the event that optional activities such as the preparation of assignments are carried out. The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated with this technology, specify the tools used and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity. The lack of transparency in the use of AI in this assessable activity will be considered a lack of academic honesty and may lead to a partial or total penalty in the grade of the activity, or greater sanctions in serious cases.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
Title | Weighting | Hours | ECTS | Learning Outcomes |
---|---|---|---|---|
Practical evaluation through objective tests | 25% | 4 | 0.16 | 1, 7, 2, 13, 12, 15, 16, 20, 17, 23 |
Theoretical evaluation through objective tests | 75% | 6 | 0.24 | 5, 6, 9, 8, 10, 11, 12, 26, 14, 15, 21, 24, 17, 22, 18, 19, 4, 25, 27, 28, 3 |
This subject does not provide for the single assessment system.
The competences of this subject will be evaluated with a relative weight of the theoretical examination of 75%, of the practical examination of 25%,
The theoretical-practical exam will consist of items of multiple choice and restricted questions.
- In the multiple choice test questions, incorrect answers will deduct 0.25.
- There will be a minimum of three partial assessments (continuous assessment), at the end of each quarter, as well as a final recovery test. Each partial exam will have a weight of 33.3% in the final grade of the subject.
- The partial assessment must be passed with a grade equal to or greater than 5 out of 10 to release the subject.
Students who have not passed the subject through continuous assessment may take the final retake exam, provided that they have previously been assessed in a set of activities whose weight is equivalent to a minimum of two-thirds of the total grade for the subject.
In exceptional situations (manifest impossibility of attending the exam), and always at the discretion of the professor responsible for the subject in the Teaching Unit, the possibility of taking a special oral exam will be considered.
Students who do not take both the theoretical and practical assessment tests will be considered "Not Assessable", exhausting their rights to register for the subject.
Optionally, continuous assessment tests not scheduled during theoretical classes, or of other types, can be taken, which in the event of satisfactory results can be used to raise the grade, up to a maximum of 5% of the finalgrade. In no case will the grade of the partial exams or the final synthesis test be lowered.
Minimum requirements: to pass the subject, you must have attended 80% of the practical activities and seminars.
Final grade: Weighted sum of the theoretical-practical knowledge assessments
Qualitative grade: Not assessable, Fail, Pass, Remarkable, Excellent, Honors.
Exam review system: The exam review will be done individually with the student. When the provisional grades are published, the time and place where the review will be carried out will be indicated.
