In PATHOLOGY GENERAL I, students will acquire the knowledge necessary enabling them to understand, explore and address the various factors involved in health and disease within the medical surgical areas as well as nurse assistance dealing with different disease systems from real problems and / or potential derivatives.
In order for the course and its objectives to develop, it is necessary that students have sufficient knowledge of human anatomy and physiology, the fundamental requirements while completing these courses of the degree.
