Introduction to histopathology

The course teaches about pathological processes such as inflammation, infection, neoplasia, and cell death. Students will learn about autoimmune diseases, hypersensitivity, wound healing, and tissue regeneration. They will also acquire skills in photography and reporting in histopathology. The teaching method involves lectures and practical demonstrations. This course is intended for individuals interested in pathology, medical students, healthcare professionals, and researchers in related fields.
