General guide of the course
Requisitos de finalización
This course addresses the role of the clinical autopsy in the 21st century. Therefore, we will explain the most basic fundamentals; material and methodology; risks of doing an autopsy and high-risk autopsies; and some of the main lethal injuries that can cause death. In addition, we will explain the hidden face of clinical autopsies, that is to say, some neuropathological procedures such as the brain and spinal cord extractions. Finally, we will overview some characteristics of brain biobanks as the backbone of research in human brain tissues.
This course is offered by the University of Oviedo and developed by a teaching team of professors and pathologists from the University of Oviedo and the Central University Hospital of Asturias (Anatomic Pathology Service).
3. Course structure
The course is divided in five weeks plus one additional week to give enough time to widely develop the materials. Before each unit, there is a 10-question test to determine your previous knowledge. Later, theoretical knowledge will be developed accompanied by video-lessons. Some of the topics are accompanied by other video-materials. After that, there will be a series of optional activities to work key concepts learned in each unit. There will also be forums that will allow online interactions between students. We will finally have evaluation activities in which you will have the opportunity to prove all you have learned from each unit.
