the health crisis caused by COVID-19, the teaching staff will promptly communicate how this may effect
the teaching methodologies and activities as well as the assessment.
In the PATHOLOGY II course, students will acquire the knowledge that will enable them to understand, explore and address the various factors involved in health and disease within the medical-surgical and maternal-child areas of health. Students will study different disease systems, the fundamentals of the maternal-child area, the gynecological obstetrical and pediatric pathology, and actual and / or potential problems arising where assistance by the nurse is needed.
