Pathophysiology Course

What will I learn?

Come and learn about the Pathophysiology Course, designed for autopsy professionals, where you'll explore the ins and outs of atherosclerosis. Understand what causes it, the things that make you more likely to get it, and how common it is. You'll also look at what we find during autopsies, matching the patient's history with what we see under the microscope and with the naked eye. We'll get into the small details of how plaques form, what macrophages do, and how your genes play a role. You'll see how the underlying disease processes lead to what happens in the clinic, learning about how the lining of blood vessels gets damaged, how lipids build up, and how inflammation is involved. Build your knowledge of diseases affecting the heart, brain, and other arteries, and think about how important pathophysiology is for medical practice and future research.
