Readings/Bibliography

All teaching material is available on AMS Campus - AlmaDL -Università di Bologna (username and PW from Alma Mater University of Bologna)

Teaching methods

6 CFU : 5 of frontal lessons and 1 of lab teaching (Histopathology Lab with 30 light microscopies and Ultrastructural Lab)

Students will achieve knowledge about electron microscope and other devices

Student will achieve skills in practical study of disease cases for diagnostic purposes

Assessment methods

The final test focus on the achievement of knowledges and skills about:

- main neoplastic diseases,

- ultrastructural markers of main pathologies

- organization of diagnostic laboratories

Oral test on these three issues contributing to final grade

Teaching tools

The Course is constituted by 6CFU: 5 of formal lessons and 1 as practical study in a specific Lab for Histopathology and Lab for Electron Microscopy.The teaching material is available : http://campus.unibo.it/
