The aim of these subjects is to introduce the student to the scientific study of disease processes. The causes, mechanisms of development and possible outcome of disease are covered in General Pathology 301 and 302. Current thinking about, and investigation of, cellular and molecular aspects of disease processes will be studied in 303-305 by means of lectures, seminar/discussions and experimental projects in a variety of research areas.
The overall objective of teaching Pathology within the Faculty of Science is to provide the foundations upon which a student could take up a career in the wider fields of medical science, technology, and laboratory investigation within a Hospital or an Institute of Medical Research.
600-141 and 600-142 Biology (Before 1996: 600-101 Biology); Chemistry 610-120, or 610-140; other 100-level Science subjects.
Anatomy and Cell Biology 516-201; Biochemistry and Molecular Biology 521-201 and 521-202; Physiology 536-201, 536-202 and 536-203; subjects selected from Genetics 652-201; Microbiology 526-201; 526-202; Pharmacology 534-201; Chemistry 610- 200-level subjects.
A combined course is recommended consisting of Pathology (35 points or more), with another major selected from Anatomy and Cell Biology/Cellular and Developmental Biology, Microbiology/Immunology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Physiology, Pharmacology or Genetics.
Admission to 4th year Pathology Honours is open to any student who has completed a 300-level year and obtained Faculty Honours.
Note: 531-496 and 531-497 must be taken concurrently. Both course units must be completed and students should reach a minimum of 65% to pass the year.
