Sustainable Development Goals
Learning Goals
Objectives: to enable students to establish the relationship between large groups of causes of disease and the organic response in some devices and systems targeted by the theoretical program
Skills: it is intended that students are able to identify lesions or macroscopic and microscopic changes in all organs that integrate each of the devices or systems addressed
Generic skills: Ability to: learn, practical application of acquired knowledge, analysis and synthesis, adaptation to new situations, work in interdisciplinary teams, autonomous work and work in an international context, written and oral communication, develop scientific research activities
Specific competences: Interpretation of alterations and injuries in cadavers, organs and tissues, searching with logical reasoning to list the most frequent causes, relating the macroscopic lesions to the respective histopathology.

Teaching Methods
Theory seminars are structured upon the discussion of topics with observation of slides of macroscopic and microscopic lesions. In practice-based sessions, students are divided into work-groups where, with the help of an instructor, they execute a necropsy or they observe formol fixed organs.
Each student is required to attend 3 necropsies and attendance is compulsory (at a minimum of 2/3 of sessions). They also have to make a repoprt of each necropsy. In-session tests or, alternatively, a final exam, either written. At least two in-session tests will be required, scheduled at the beginning of the semester. At the end of the year students will also sit a compulsory practice exam for all students.
The final grade shall be obtained by a weighted average of theory and practice-based marks according to the following formula: FC= (TC + PC)/2
