Selected Speciality - Pathomorphology
1600-Lek6SP28-J
The aim of the Pathomorphology course is studying and understanding etiology, pathogenesis, morphology and functional changes of diseases in the contects of pathological-clinical cooperation. Tutorials focus on deepening the knowledge and discussion on the matters of pathology that were introduced in the previuos years in the light of the cooperation with clinicians.
