A survey course providing an understanding of fundamental
mechanisms of disease processes. The first half of the course
presents pathogenesis of diseases common to all organ
systems; the second half concentrates on disease in most of
the major organ systems including cardiovascular, respiratory,
gastrointestinal, genitourinary, nervous and musculoskeletal
systems.
Extra Information: 2 lecture hours/wk or equivalent online
delivery with 1 tutorial
hour/wk, 0.5 course.

College collaborative BScN program.
A survey course for students in the biomedical sciences,
health sciences or science programs. The emphasis is
on understanding general mechanisms of disease (e.g.
inflammation, immunity, injury, neoplasia, disturbed
hemodynamics) in all organ systems.
Extra Information: 2 lecture hours, 0.5 course.
Building on the knowledge of general disease mechanisms
presented in Pathology 3240A, this lecture-based course will
introduce students to specific diseases of most major organ
systems (e.g. cardiovascular system, respiratory system, renal
system, GI system, reproductive system, central nervous
system and musculoskeletal system).

The pathology of occupational and environmental diseases,
including information on recent developments and basic
mechanisms involved in these diseases. Recognition of
occupational and environmental diseases, early diagnosis,
mechanisms of cell injury and regeneration, and the effects of
a wide variety of toxic drugs, chemicals and UV and ionizing
radiation are included.
Extra Information: 2 lecture hours, 0.5 course.
Prerequisite(s): Pathology 3240A and 3245B with a minimum
mark of 70% in each.
Examination of the medicolegal framework investigating the
