Course Syllabus
Aims
The primary goal of the course is to provide students with the pathophysiologic basis of the digestive and liver systems in order to make correlations between the inner mechanisms of diseases and their clinical expression. The student will be able to interpret symptoms, signs and laboratory tests as well as radiologic and endoscopic findings. Clinical tools to understand concepts of organ-limited disease, system involvement or systemic disease will be provided.
