Pathophysiology Course

Pathophysiology Course
from 4 to 360h flexible workload
certificate recognized by the MEC

What will I learn?

Join this Pathophysiology Course specifically designed for autopsy professionals. You'll delve deep into the complexities of atherosclerosis (that is, hardening of the arteries). You will understand the reasons it happens, what puts people at risk, and how common it is in Kenya. We'll look at what we find during autopsies, linking it to the patient's medical history, what we see under the microscope, and the overall appearance of the affected tissues. You'll get a good understanding of what happens inside cells and at a molecular level when plaques (fatty deposits) form, the role of macrophages (immune cells), and how genetics plays a part. You'll connect these disease processes to what happens to patients in the hospital. You will learn about how the inner lining of blood vessels (endothelium) malfunctions, how fat builds up, and how inflammation makes things worse. You will gain advanced knowledge on diseases affecting the heart (coronary artery disease), the brain (cerebrovascular disease), and the limbs (peripheral artery disease). Lastly, we'll think about why understanding pathophysiology is crucial in medicine and for future research.
