This course is designed to increase the student鈥檚 knowledge and understanding of the process of disease at the genetic, molecular, cellular and tissue level. This course explores systemic pathology and diseases of organ systems. Integrative pathology will enable the student to integrate the theory and practice of the various disciplines of pathology in their approach to the laboratory investigation, diagnosis and therapeutic options in individual patients and will enhance their capacity to make critical and informed judgments in a professional setting.

This course will consolidate the students' knowledge and understanding of the various disciplines of pathology in a study of the structural and functional changes in cells, tissues and organs associated with the human body's response to toxic stressors and injury. Integrative pathology will integrate the theory and associated laboratory practices presented in the Haematology, Clinical Biochemistry, Histopathology, Molecular Diagnostics and Medical Microbiology and Immunology courses in the Bachelor of Medical Laboratory Science for the emerging Medical Laboratory Scientist.

On completion of this course students should be able to:

1. Explain the mechanisms involved in cellular and tissue repair and regeneration in the human body and their impact on interpretation of pathology results;
2. Explain the processes involved in the human body鈥檚 adaptation to stress and disease and the associated clinical signs and symptoms and laboratory findings;
3. Interpret a comprehensive range of pathology results based on a solid understanding of the pathophysiological basis of human disease at the molecular, cellular and tissue level;
4. Employ a logical, systematic, collaborative and well-informed problem-solving approach to interpreting patient history, clinical signs and symptoms in the determination of appropriate laboratory investigation and diagnosis in individual patient cases;
5. Illustrate a high level of academic, scientific and professional literacy and effective digital and oral communication skills;
6. Employ safe work practices and illustrate a clear understanding of the ethical and professional responsibilities associated with working in a pathology laboratory.
