OPTH 721 Basic Disease Processes

Credits: 2
An understanding of basic disease processes and the mechanisms by which diseases develop and progress is the foundation upon which the ability to establish accurate diagnoses and, ultimately, rational treatment rests. The student will learn about the fundamental molecular and histological changes that take place during a disease process. OPTH 721 is designed to lead directly into OPTH 727 Pathology of the Systems in the following term. Additionally, the concepts learned in OPTH 721 will be essential for oral pathology classes (OPTH 731, OPTH 732, OPTH 733) that are offered in the DS3 year.
