Educational Aims of the Course

This module aims to equip registered healthcare professionals will the knowledge and skills to apply pathophysiology theory to practice through a series of patient presentations. 

Learning Outcomes

1.
Demonstrate the ability to apply knowledge of abnormal pathophysiological and pathological mechanisms to a number of patient cases
2.
Demonstrate critical understanding of the impact of genetic and environmental factors and how these lead to disease
  • Problem solving
3.
Critically analyse the decision making process when applying this to individual presentations and complex situations to make appropriate evidence-based judgements and diagnosis.
  • Problem solving
4.
Critically consider the application of interventions for symptom control and disease management and reversal
  • Problem solving

Teaching, Learning and Assessment

This module will provide an opportunity for interprofessional learning in the application of pathophysiology to practice. Students will explore a series of clinical cases, covering a range of conditions and disease and will provide a deeper level of understanding of pathophysiology.

This module will allow students to

  • Explore the applied pathophysiology of commonly presenting mental health conditions, respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, renal and urological, neurological, haematological and immunological diseases.
  • Understand how and genetic and environmental factors affect physiological mechanisms that lead to disease
  • Develop understanding of how therapeutic interventions can change underlying pathophysiology and reduce the impact of disease 

The assessment is a written exam.
