Pathologia Home

Pathologia is an online curated open-educational resource covering all aspects of human pathology that integrates the cellular and molecular basis of disease with clinical medicine. It has been designed for medical undergraduates as a replacement for the PathCAL system.

Individual topics will be addressed in separate CALs (Computer Assisted Learning), organised in themes within broader categories (introduction, disease processes, and organ systems).

We will release the CALs mapped to the curriculum of the University of Edinburgh MBChB course.
