Preface
The new GMER attempts to stand on the shoulder of the contributions and the efforts of resource
persons, teachers and students (past and present). It intends to carry forward the process of
learning to enable the Indian Medical Graduate, a consummate provider of health care aligned to
the evolving needs of the patients in every socio- economic setting. The thrust in the new
regulations is the continuation and evolution of thought in medical education making it more
learner-centric, patient-centric, gender sensitive, outcome -oriented and environment
appropriate. The result is an outcome driven curriculum which conforms to global trends.
Emphasis is made on alignment and integration of subjects both horizontally and vertically
while respecting the strengths and necessity of subject-based instruction and assessment. The
importance of ethical values, responsiveness to the needs of the patient and acquisition of
communication skills is underscored by providing dedicated curriculum time in the form of a
longitudinal program based on Attitude, Ethics and Communication (AETCOM) competencies.
Great emphasis has been placed on collaborative and interdisciplinary teamwork,
professionalism, altruism and respect in professional relationships with due sensitivity to
differences in thought, social and economic position and gender. In addition to the above, an
attempt has been made to allow students from diverse educational streams and backgrounds to
transition appropriately through a Foundation Course. Dedicated time has been allotted for self-
directed learning and co-curricular activities. With this view in mind the log book has been
designed as per the guidelines of competency-based curriculum. This Academic Record for
Undergraduate Medical Students is to be maintained by the student and is part of the learner's
personal progress assessment toolkit. The learner shall present the Academic Record to the
staff facilitator / mentor at the end of all class room learning / practical sessions / integrated
learning sessions / ECE / SDL / AETCOM sessions and feedback sessions as called for by the
faculty facilitators / mentors. The progress shall be recorded in the various segments of the
record and signed by the facilitator / mentor.

1. Background of the Course
GOAL AND OBJECTIVES
GOAL
The broad goal of the teaching of undergraduate student in Pathology is to provide
the students with a comprehensive knowledge of the mechanisms and causes of
disease, in order to enable him/her to achieve complete understanding of the
natural history and clinical manifestations of disease.
OBJECTIVES
a) KNOWLEDGE
At the end of the course, the student should be able to:-
1. Describe the structure and ultrastructure of a sick cell, mechanisms of cell
degeneration, cell death and repair and be able to correlate structuraland
functional alterations.
2. Explain the pathophysiological processes which govern the maintenance of
homeostasis, mechanisms of their disturbance and the morphological and
clinical manifestations associated with it.
3. Describe the mechanisms and patterns of tissue response to injury such that
she/he can appreciate the pathophysiology of disease processes and their
clinical manifestations.
4. Correlate normal and altered morphology (gross and microscopic) of different
organ systems in common diseases to the extent needed for understanding of
disease processes and their clinical significance.
b) SKILLS
At the end of the course, the student should be able to:-
1. Describe the rationale and principles of technical procedures of the diagnostic
laboratory tests and interpretation of the results.
2. Perform simple bed-side tests on blood, urine and other biological fluid sample.
3. Draw a rational scheme of investigations aimed at diagnosing and managing the
cases of common disorders.
4. Understand biochemical / physiological disturbances that occur as a result of
disease in collaboration with preclinical departments.
c) INTEGRATION
At the end of training he/she should be able to integrate the causes of disease and
relationship of different etiological factors (social, economic and environmental)
and that contribute to the natural history of diseases most prevalent in India.
