(1) Programme Aims:
The broad aims of the Programme are as follows: (either to be written in items or as a paragraph)
1- To know in detail the cell structure, function and its specific specialization.
2- To understand the microanatomy and ultrastructure of different organs
and
tissues and the regional variation and its significance.
3- To be able to describe the interrelationships between macroscopic, light and
electron microscopic structures and functions of the appropriate tissues.
4- To have a clear understanding of cell and tissue biology.
5- To be familiar with the age changes that occurs in cells and tissues.
6- To perform routine histological evaluation of specimens relating to tissues, to
carry out routine diagnostic procedures including hematological, cytological,
Immunological and ultra structural investigations.
7-
To understand current research methodology, collection and interpretation of
data, ability to carry out research projects on clinical aspects, a working knowledge
on current databases, automated data retrieval systems, referencing and skill in
writing scientific papers.
