Welcome to Pathophysiology with Dr. M.
This class is guaranteed to give you headaches!!!
You survived chemistry class, lifespan psychology class, biology classes, microbiology class and anatomy and physiology classes. The study of pathophysiology is usually the last class before you move into your core clinical classes in nursing. Many students take pathophysiology in their third or fourth year before considering graduate programs. In other words, by the time you are here, we assume you own all the prior courses.
Now we start the journey of learning what happens when that normal structure and function becomes diseased and what that pathology and pathophysiology would be like. I emphasized often when teaching anatomy and physiology that the key to understanding pathology is understanding normal anatomy and the key to understanding pathophysiology is understanding normal physiology. That was why I sounded like a broken record and repeated things so often. Of course, many thought I was just having another senior moment...which does happen some time.
I will be adding resources and updating this site every week, so check back often. In every section I have included the complete chapter from Robbins Textbook of Medical Pathology. This is the textbook used in medical schools and is what I learned from. This is not meant to overwhelm you with a graduate level textbook, it is only included as a great reference to help you learn and to help you with your case studies.
Seize the day...Carpe Diem!!
